I'll stay in the day dreaming camp Anthony. 😁

It’s a beautiful table. Rega makes a great set it, forget it table.

Wow Anthony, very intriguing take on the Rega, I think for someone wanting set and forget superb vinyl , with little knowledge this Rega is perfect, but having owned a top rega myself, once you get into the hobby and build up some knowledge, the simplicity starts to grate, so I think your decision makes sense as an advanced vinylphile , the looks are polarising and although there is advanced material science here , the looks to me give the appearance of fragility imho.

Exactly my experience, Andrew, especially when I owned a 10. But man, the NAIA is sweeeeeet!

Currently this is scheduled to be my final turntable in the Autumn but keeping my MC Windfield cart currently on my Michelle Orbe SE

Let us know how you like it. You have a good cart and ‘table (heard both several times), but I’d say you will really enjoy the NAIA.

Great video, as always. I love your Pure Fidelity turntable, but not the top Regas. Besides being unable to change VTA, as another commenter noted, their skeletonized frames look weird and frail to me.

Thank you, Vladimir, for the kind words. My wife agrees with you, but oh, how I loved it. I just love my setup more, plus all the Rega-isms! lol

Does anyone know what material the plinth is made from?

Depends on what your definition of perfection is, but in these pricey days of high end audio, £12,000 incl. a knockout cart that plays at this exalted level is about right, IMO. Crazy prices, but hey, in high end audio these days, you gotta pay to play.

@@AudiophiliaChannel only if you like to waste money. There are great sounding tables for half that sum. Conversely, it’s not twice as good as a table costing six grand. It’s more preference and bragging rights. Many egos have been crushed by a double blind listening test that proves as much.

Audio is not fun anymore.. Its all superceeded by greedy Accountants determined to squeeze as much as they can from the customer...

Sure it is. Ignore all the greed nonsense. For sure, it’s rampant, but music played through great equipment is so bloody good. Keep the faith, mate 👍

@@AudiophiliaChannel Greed is not nonsence .. It is a fact! I know a good retailer who was refused a Rega Account because he was deemed to be too small .. That says it all. The Accountants make the rules.

Any turntable that makes it virtually impossible to change VTA is a fatally flawed design. Period.

Yeah. They want the least amount of moving parts. VTA creates more moving parts. This is one of the best TTs at any price range. The Aphelion 2 is one of the best carts out there too. No one would say the Beogram is even close to as good as this… not really a comparison
