Whats on your turntable tonight?
Just got delivery of the new Hilary Hahn plays Bach Sonatas 1 & 2 - it has the best SQ of any LP I've bought in quite a while - its electrifying 
How can I connect a 5th gen IPad to the digital inputs on Hegel H80 integrated amplifier?

Rega Brio R or Alex R for new Klipsch Heresy III's.
I agree the Rega products do have a synergy with each other. My setup is British and nearly all Rega: Planar 3, DAC-R (with Rotel RCD-02 as transport), Elex-R, Spendor A4s, Chord interconnects. I mostly listen to Classical/Jazz/Singer-Songwriter...
