Aye,
totally agree it’s an interesting one Jim.
Really does go to show;
More than one way to get the groove, out the groove...and it’s good to hear the different approaches, see what works for you.
Weirdly, the more right the equipment is, and don’t get me wrong having the gears cool and all, but if done right the less you think about it and the more you focus on the music you love.
Musical engagements where I’m at, and totally buying into Rega’s philosophy here.
Turntable done, MAYBE a new phonostage in the future, know I can do better and hear more of what the P10 can do.
Just need to pick my stepping off point.
