Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?

"I bought an RP-10 about a month ago and once I got it set up with the correct VTA for my Cartridge (Kleos) I have been very pleased."

Good to hear the 10 doing the Lyra justice. Doesn't surprise me it's getting the job done. You obviously play it thru an appropriate phono pre.

I'm sure it's in another league compared to the P9. Modding a P5 convinced me decent sound can be had for minimal expense. If the 10 were out when I jumped ship to VPI, I would have considered the RP10.

Have you considered brass footers/maple slab? If I had that table, I would do the BLACK anodized brass footers and 4" black maple slab(Mapleshade) The table would look more like 50K after the makeover.

Miner42,

Sometimes we pay a lot for a smidgen of improvement.

Tablejockey, I am considering a base for the table. As a woodworker I
would like to make something. I had thought about 1.5" MDF with a
cherry veneer. I had made one for my LP12 and recessed some Aurios into
it. But this table doesn't have the footfall issues the Linn did. Years ago I
had a P25 and had it on a Base platform with AQ feet. But as time allows, I
would like to make something but work has me strapped for shop time right
now.
I do intend to experiment with a few things to see which direction I need to
go.
In another thread, Jonathan Carr gave me advice on the VTA shim
thickness and he recommended 3.4mm and I am using pre made shims of
3.5mm, I would like to have a 3.4mm single shim made but haven't had the
time to meet with a machinist. Many thanks to Mr.Carr for his help and
cartridge design.
Thank you for your comments.

I have heard the RP10, I am not impressed. Suggest you take a look at the 'U-Turn Audio" Orbit plus, cartridge and arm included. Sold only direct. I was impressed, and kept the unit I ordered. Hey, it comes in green or blue, so it give the significant other a chance to participate. We got the blue one because it sounds better.

Rega tables are susceptible to vibrations due to their purposeful and extremely efficient lightweight construction. After many trial and error sessions, I decided to construct a sanbox for my heavily modified RP3. I also replaced the rubber feet with threaded/adjustable brass footers for top notch isolation from external vibrations.

Now I am just simply amazed by the RP3's ability to reproduce the attack transients in music. Much better reporduction of dynamics and transient response with strong impact.

The bass is punchy and never feels congested, the treble is airy, spacious, and open.

This is, by far, the best set-up I have ever owned and I don't miss my Linn Sondek LP12 combo at all.
