Which Rega were you thinking Howdy?
Back in the days I had a Brio on a home demo for a week and it was incredibly great with my cheap deck of the day. It was incredibly awful with my then just new Arcam CD player though, I think it must have been some sort of impendance mismatch or something.
I believe it was Brio 2, still clamshell, but not the one that was only 20cm or so deep.
PS. Should Paul Darwin be reading this: please make the timeline on Rega site more interactive and useful - adding links to pics and such.
