Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?


How does it sound compared to the RP8? How does it compare to other TT in it's price range?

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.

Happy listening!
Kiko65, If I may, when you employed your Groovetracer Counterweight, did you completely relieve the tension on the arm's VTF spring? I discussed this with the gentleman at Groovetracer and he insists that it best to relieve the spring tension by winding the VTF adjuster beyond 3. I have an Ekos on my LP12 and I had set the VTF via scale but kept about .5 on the tension of the spring. I did this because of the advice I had received from a couple of Linn forums. Their claim was that a completely relaxed spring could "rattle" and that was my thought on the Rega arm.
So I am curious what method you used with your Delos as it should weigh the same as my Kleos. Also the gentleman at Groovetracer told me the 150 gram was best for my arm/cart combo. I wanted to go with the 130 for the reasons mentioned. I am wanting to order soon and want to get some feedback on setup.

Thanks in advance.

Here's one for the books. Last night I watched the superb "Midwives" series that is so popular on PBS.

It's noted for the all-out effort they make to have only items
from the 40-50"s on their set. In last episode that had a shot of a 50's phonograph playing that had a braced tonearm which looked a LOT like what Rega is using now!
The tonearm itself was wide and tapered with a hole at the end that went over the spindle.
