A brief Rega RP6 Review.

It's really interesting to hear everyone has different experiences with cart choice, did everyone else start with the Exact and replace it afterwards?

I haven't heard the Exact and spent plenty of time reading up on it. I had previously heard the Elys on a P25 and wasn't happy with it, hence my reservations, although the Exact is supposedly a far better cartridge. Highly divided opinions put me off the Exact as I was buying without audition, but as Denons have been my favourite cartridges on other turntables I decided to stick with them.

I've got a Nagaoka MP110 which I might try eventually but I don't feel the need change the Denon at the moment.

I must admit I read an awful lot of opinions on the RP6/Exact pairing too, lots of both in favour and against. Mine was coming with the Exact as it was picked up 2nd hand and I have to say I am happy, maybe in a year or so I might think of changing it.

I am still tempted by an Electrocompaniet ECP1 phono stage though.
