Rega P25 question

Grados can work well on Rega arms, however...I have not used the P25 myself but have heard complaints that certain Grados will sometimes hum on Rega TTs, as can sometimes be the case with ARs and VPI HWs...maybe someone with direct experince can elaborate...

Todd,

Thanks for the reco. Are we talking about the Denon 103 on a Rega p25? I assume yes, but please tell me.

I'm using the Denon 103R on my P25 and I really like the sound. And, at $259 shipped from Japan it didn't break the bank either.

I was using a Rega Exact before... but the Denon is worlds better to my ears.

Hello,

I use a Goldring 1042 with my Rega P25. This cartridge is a good match for several motives. Firstly, this cartridge works well in a medium mass tonearm as the RB600. In this case, you will not have any problem with warped records. Also, the musical personnality of the P25 which is sweet, detailed and warm is a good team with the dynamic goldring. If you use a warm and dynamic amp with a neutral and dynamic speaker, you will be very satisfied with the goldring. It's not a good idea to use the goldring with a bright speaker. Lastly, it's easy to change the tip!

Hello,

This threat is very interesting ! I have a P25 with a SuperBias cartridge and the sound is not terrific...
I've been advised to choose between Goldring 1042, Ortofon Vinyl Master Silver and Audio technica 440ML... Very difficult to know which one is the best choice !

Do you know if I would need a spacer to ajust the VTA with an new cartridge ?

Thank you,
Nico
