News flash: Rega gets wired!

Posted by: Joe Petrik on 30 April 2001

Wondered how long it would take Rega to figure out this Net thing.

Several years, apparently, but they finally have.

OK, the Well Tempered is 1st, 7th, or 13th.

The LP12 is 4th, 6th or 12th.

The Phonosophie is 3rd or 14th.

The Garrard is 5th or 11th.

The Roksan is 9th.

The Gyro is 8th.

The SME is 10th.

But the p9 is 2nd and only 2nd. The choice is clear. Buy yours today.

hey joe: ha ha ha... well spoted!! i had to favour what you own. truth is i couldnt make the rankings inconsistent enough to be completely meaningless, which is the point i was trying to get across.

one of these days, i will get to listen to a well dressed p9, just out of curiosity. if i ever sell my lp12, it will be because i ma getting out of vinyl altogether (and the thought has crossed my mind in one of my madder moments...)

enjoy...

Joe,

You need an 82, mate. There's quite a few around on the secondhand market in the UK this month.

BTW I found the rega site a little lacking in factual info - speaker sizes, for example, would be a useful accompaniment.

Yup, I know. But lack o' cash has been the problem. Whenever I get close something happens -- first I get engaged, then I get married, then I move the the U.S.

No more. The next big expense in my life will be an 82.

Now Joe, I've heard this line from you before you know. I think you'll be moving back to Canada before the 82 comes along. Hehe.
