    If anyone needs just a little more positive confirmation, I bought a Rega P-10 a couple of years ago and it was the best move i'd made. Absolutely excellent.

    Very enjoyable and informative interview! My P3 has given new life to albums that I've owned for years, and I now hear things in the music that were sort of buried previously. Mr. Gandy has an interesting philosophy and balance between the engineering and artistic, and this makes for a unique experience.

    Excellent interview! However I went down the rabbit hole learning about azimuth and vta after your Fremer interview and sold my p3/TT-PSU this week lol. Moving into a pro-ject x1b & the amethyst cart upgrade...this deck has a mini XLR out and is great candidate for MC cart exploration.

    I like Rega's approach a lot, and am trying to find a way to justify an upgrade to my P3 to a P8 or 10. Heart says Naia, but I just can't spend that kind of money on a turntable. I wish we could have learned something about their new cartridge, the ND7, because I have used the Exact previously, and could never get along with it properly. Why did they go make a new MM cartridge in roughly the same cost bracket as Exact? But well done interview! Enjoy the music! That's some really good advice.

    👏 🎉 💪 For young & old A/V consumers, UA-camrs, bloggers, VC bitchers, and glossy mag publishers, mark the tape(!) at the 13min mark: "...price is NOT any indicator of sound quality... full stop." 💪
    I'm not a Rega owner though I do own two more-modern audiophile TTs and a Pioneer vintage.
    But a single casual interview like this setting can/does help persuade folks from newbies to grizzled veterans like me to look their way.
    Reminds me, for whatever reason, of one of my FAV speaker designers for 30 years, Legacy Audio's Bill Dudleston. Why I've owned a pair of Focus towers from early 2000.
    Easily one of my biggest VC & forum pet peeves re: actual vinyl albums, reissues, etc., are usually regular bitchers & complainers with their "...bad pressings & 3-5 attempts to find a good sounding vinyl" and/or "...I've had 3 random skips & pops on side 2...".
    Great stuff Steve.

    Wow! Amazing. I love my Rega equipment! I am rockin a RP2 circa 1978. I got an Aria mk3 and a Fono MK1. My god the Fono hangs very good. The Aria still beats it…. But they Fono is amazing for about $250.

The Aria is definitely more detailed… but my Fono images deeper. I am using a Nag MP-500. Thinking about trying a Rega cart (apheta 3 or ania pro)

    You should have asked him if he's working on a new generation of turntable models, and when they will come out. They generally release new models every 6 years or so.
