Rega P25 question

Dear Nico,

With the Goldring 1042 you will need 1 spacer of 4 millimeters or 3 of 1 millimeters. I recommend you 3 of 1 millimeters because you probably use the Rega mat which has a 3 millimeters of thickness. In my case, I use a spacer of 4 millimeters because I don't use the Rega mat. I use the "tripad eon canada" mat which was made in the eighties with a 4 millimeters of thickness. It doesn't exist anymore. The Goldring is a good choice if you have a soft (Paradigm Studio 100 by example) or a neutral speaker (JM LAB Chorus 715 by example). It takes about 3 months of breaking in. The first hours, the goldring sounds bright, agressive and hard but after that it sounds neutral, dynamic, enjoyable and detailed. It just sounds right! Don't use it with a bright speaker like the Rega Alya. Good luck!

Benthor -

Yes, I have the Rega P25.

My 25 and Benz ACE High Output MC work well with my MF 308 phono section set on mm

Denon DL-103R, used in combination with: 1) J A Michell Tecno Arm Stub & Counterweight, and 2) the "Strange Tonearm Tweak - Long", available in A-Gon discussion forum (cost was approx. $1.00!).

I purchased the DL-103R from AudioCubes, had about a one month wait, but the shipped price is around $260, and the cart. works wonderfully in my system.

It's incredible. I also have a P88 and a Dyn 20x.

I prefer both of my Garrot carts to the Dynavector.

The Garrott is a perfect match for the P25 and the RB600. No arm adjustment/spacers necessary.

The sound of my P77 is very quiet with excellent mids and bass...To my ears, the high end is spectacular.

The rest of my system is Ear834 also a Tango pre-amp. Krell FPB amps and B&W N802 speakers.

Email me for more info.
