My 35 year old Dual CS505-2 finally ceased, so I chose to upgrade to a more audiophile turntable. This model is an incredible performer. The Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is a perfect match, with its slightly lean sound complementing the inherent warmth of the deck. Treble detail is there in abundance too. The killer feature has to be the speed change switch - something that Rega need to pay good attention to, as lifting a heavy platter just to change speed is a step too far in the pursuit of audio purity. Buy with confidence.

Great first turntable / first upgrade. Very well made, much of the technology from higher-end models, good pre-fitted Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge. Very easy to set up and use. Looks great, sounds better, plenty of detail, sweet high end, open mid-range and solid tuneful bass, overall a good "vinyl warmth" presentation. Very impressed!

My first vinyl was a Tom Waits album. It blew me away! I love it and I am buying in vinyl all my favourite artists irrespective if I have their Cds.
