New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts

Any Thought's on the "New" Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo

Any Rega owners / dealers / folks familiar with the table and/or brand have any thoughts / advise about this table / brand / combo? 

I am trying vinyl again... Tried it before without much luck. Table / cart / phono set up was too finicky for me and I wasn't able to get decent sound. I sold it all and am now giving it another try.

I also chose a Sutherland Duo phonostage to match with it.

Would love thoughts, advise, ideas or feedback. I have never owned a Rega product before. Going to set it up tonight but still waiting for my phonostage to be mailed to me. Would love some feedback. 

Thanks

I love vinyl and play it exclusively. I’ve had an RP6 and Exact 2 cartridge for about six years and can’t Imagine switching. I owned a $12,000 turntable and sold it. I actually like the Rega better.

It really sounds like vinyl is just not for you for whatever reasons. We all hear differently, all like different things. I don’t think you’ll be happy with even an expensive vinyl set up. Why not just go with what you like and be happy. If you’re
so enamored of your digital set up, go with it and enjoy it and stop wondering when you’ll reach Valhalla.

And stay off these damn audio sites- they’ll make you crazy!
