RE: Ordered a Rega RP3

Hi,

 

To be honest: I really don't know Smile of course the best answer would be that you should listen them both. At least for me the Silverscreen seemed to be a little bit too bright.

YES YES YES!!!!

My white RP3 has arrived I cant collect it until wednesaday though...........so excited!

However I have gone for the Elys 2 cartridge now as apparently you have to have the dust lid open with the 2M red!

Spockfish - How are you getting on with yours - does ot sound good?

No way!! That's a serious addiction!  I've spent a bit lately on the system so this may have to wait a bit longer.  Went to a friends last week though who has an RP3 (xmas pressie from wife) - we did some A/B testing with vinyl vs MP3 equivalents - his new vinyl in the majority of cases sounded lovely, really nice.  Highlights were the 2012 remaster of Ziggy Stardust, Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik and John Coltrane stuff.  The only exception was The White Album from the recent remasters, on his system didnt sound as clear as the MP3 - was a bit disapppointing - surprising.
