All user reviews for the Rega RP8

Rega is a solid industry in the global audio. When everyone had turned vinyl, she stayed with a few others, one of the few brands to offer a pannel products "all public" of qaulité. Now that the market is better, it is for his Rega small constant evolution. The RP8 is one of the latest developments in the genre.

The machine comes with a 2500 euros for arms that I did not recognize but which is, anyway creation Rega. I take this little passage for rent that Rega is one of the few brands to offer with Jelco and EMS, the arms of a consistent quality. So no surprises on that side.

I added that to the test, had grafted cells Ortofon him that I had never heard in action and, on the other hand, my preamp Tom Evans was present. So this can relativize / distort my test result and I must inform you.

The discs were my classics. Since the best of Foo Fighter, Dutch pressings of albums The police, through the Iron and Wine today and continuing on very old English pressings of the Rolling Stones. All the "qualities" were.

With this turntable, Rega wanted to reinvent the wheel, but, in my opinion, some planted. Indeed, an internal frame polymer foam is ingested in the complaint that contains and thus decouples slightly external pollution. In practice, however, this proved totally negligible. If I compare with P3, which is the price level, some classes below, which was reputed to be a good deal, Rega does not offer much more.

The wow is always a way, and glitter too. But, finally, an external power supply and an external speed control are present. The tray does not offer more mass than his colleagues in the average range, at most, it is composed of several materials.

Listening to the player wants rather neutral, with a well-kept low and midrange and treble effective. It is not in the total assay the turntable like skipping some details without losing the main details. Like its little brothers should I add here. To play in the class of 2,500 Euros, it lacks, for me, the beautiful. Nothing really special with him. There was no more details were not over flow, there is no better place in x frequency. We just paid more for inaudibly result a little better than the average range.

At avoid.
