Rega introduce the Naia turntable
- Thread starter dave charlton
- Start date
They should have included a third mount hole now they bothered to enter this Rega niche.
One could hope they would offer better alternatives - 2M range was never my cup really, the Red is a terrible waste of time, maybe Bronze were my preferred if I should buy one of these (never heard Black LVB)
2M seem to be popular among users and maybe a big seller, the jump to Rega tonearm match will certainly be more success for Ortofon.
I'm sure many stir religious blind by these reviews.

I challenged him about his 9 scores almost all of the time and he said he only reviewed stuff that he knew was going to be good.
In the same system
An Aethos would do it for me
Agreed
Yeah, right.

...The rhythm has Control
He likes it then.
Probably gets to keep it.
Paid by maker, everyone would like it.
If said writer liked the P10 then he’ll like this. Would he buy one with his own money though? These are the comparative choices real punters have to make.

I like Ed's description of the Naiad as a "sort of technology demonstrator". IIRC Roy Gandy has said the Naia sounds as good as the Naiad. I'm still trundling along with my P9 with it's ceramic platter, polished tonearm and separate PSU, all building blocks for what came later.

Does Ed not use a Vertere as his daily driver?
He certainly says he bought one relatively recently: https://www.avforums.com/reviews/vertere-mg-1-mkii-turntable-review.19351/

Rack’em Up!
Said he bought it in December 2021. May have moved on since to the P10. If I had the money and/or was able to obtain new gear at accommodation prices it would be fun to have those few decks to listen to in my home with my records.

Do not think his MG1 will be going anywhere soon

Going by his pics on Instagram he uses a heavily modified Gyrodec, a P10 , a newly acquired Vertere and an Avid with two tonearms

I don't really understand the need to own several decks, arms, carts etc, must be a collector thing.

In this case it's probably because he reviews hifi for a living, though there's plenty of PFM members (enthusiasts) who own multiple pieces of equipment.
This reviewing lark just pay well
Neither do I. Would do my head in, choosing with TT to play what type of music etc. my guess is that it’s people who like gear more than music. Nothing wrong with a sweeping statement when I make it
