All were enjoyable at the time, would like to imagine there has been a linear progression but I think that would be wishful thinking. In retrospect feel that moving on from Rega was the best change I made.
the LP12/Nima and 401 are both excellent in their respective ways. Looking forward to hearing the 401 with the Mission arm.
GTA, then GTAA
much difference Jason ?
Interesting TT history Klyde.
How would you rate LP12/Armageddon/ARO vs Rega P9?
Lefty
P9 is much more detailed, a tad 'cooler' sounding, very upfront, but a little less than LP12. You hear many more things in the music, Cecil Taylor singing with his piano playing. P9 is easy to work (it has an armlift!) and very simple to set up. There is also the cartridge and pre-amp to consider. Apheta is one great cart and the Nagra makes the Prefix sound compressed and distorted. Don't think this will help, will it?
