Second attempt at a Rega Planar 2, first one was damaged in transit. This one is all fine though and having fun exploring the records from the loft (mostly from the late seventies to early 80’s as I jumped to CD pretty quickly. Funnily enough my MS One Drive does ‘on this day’ and 16 years ago I sold my early 80’s Rega Planar 3. I wonder how it compares to the current Planar 2? I’ll probably post elsewhere regarding this journey back in to vinyl but the 180gm Daft Punk RAM doesn’t sound half bad (Xmas present from my son before I had a player).

Accidentally bought an Inca Tech (The) Claymore as it was an attractive deal. It's in very good nick for the age and has had the standard service by Colin Wonfor in the last few years.
Just plugged it in am giving it a little test drive right now.

Rega Saturn R CD Player. 2nd hand from Ebay for a decent price. Boxed and in pretty much mint condition. Only listened to CDs so far but plan on getting a cable so I can play a few songs from my laptop. Sounds good
Just need to find those 5010 monos to complete my set up.
The Rega remote works with my Exposure pre-amp as well which I wasn't expecting.

A very modest purchase, to play with:
'Nobsound' (ha!) - an Alps Blue, in a box, one pair in , one pair out, single-source attenuator (or 'passive pre'; whatever you want to call it.) Nicely put together/feel; solid, heavy case, all decent quality parts and the whole thing delivered cost less than I can source such components for; what is not to like ?
It's just fine, and quite good-enough esp. when used next to a power amp with short rca leads. I'd prefer them to offer a 10K pot for such things, not the 47K standard - but that is quibbling. It'll be easy enough to mod later if I want.

Now spinning Peter Gabriel - So. It does sound very nice, a bit more “delicate——lighter touch” than the other carts I’m using.

Have 'side-graded' back to a Benchmark DAC3 HGC, after QC problems with yet another Hugo TT2, and now feeling foolish for ever moving on from one in the first place or feeling the need to spend more. Lesson(s) learned. I'm now saving for a Benchmark AHB2 amp, then my system will pretty much be done, though I do have a hankering to get a Pioneer RT-707 still
