    Default Rega Open Day, Let's Celebrate Vinyl - November 23rd!



    Hi Everyone,

    So we’ve had some great open days this year but I can’t think of a better way to finish of the year now that the evenings are drawing in and Winter is approaching fast, so proper HiFi weather, than having a Rega open where we can celebrate and play vinyl all day so if you love your music please feel free to join us.

    There will be 4 demo rooms running and we are looking forward to our yearly visit from Chris and Dawn selling their great mix of new and used vinyl which is always incredibly popular, I challenge anyone to just buy one record, it is impossible.

    2 of the stars of the day will be Rega’s new Aethos amplifier, priced at £2999, due out any day now, I can see this becoming a very popular amplifier indeed, I listened to it in here the other day and it certainly didn’t disappoint, it also looks great and weighs a tonne, and also we will be showcasing the new Planar 10 turntable with the new Apheta 3 moving coil cartridge which is definitely the best Rega turntable I have ever heard.

    We will have representatives here from Rega throughout the day to help run the event and answer any questions you may have + refreshments available.

    Below are the 4 rooms we will be running and please feel free to bring any vinyl along you’d like to hear.

    Now I am a firm believer that you should spend as much on your speakers as you can, as long as you have a good enough front end to drive them, these 3 systems kind of prove this hopefully as all the speakers cost much more than the amplifier that drives them which is also a great advert for how good Regas amplifiers are, I’m sure they will all sound great, what could possibly go wrong.

    Upstairs demo room (Nice and Simple)


    • Rega Planar 3 turntable with Elys 2 MM cartridge
    • Rega Elex-R Amplifier
    • PMC Twenty5.23 Speakers

    First Downstairs ‘Naim’ Room (Reference Rega Setup)


    • Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 MC Cartridge
    • Rega Aura Reference Phono Stage
    • Rega Osiris Reference Amplifier
    • Wilson Audio Sabrina Speakers



    Second Downstairs ‘Highend Room’ (More Achievable System)



    • Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 2 Cartridge
    • Rega Aria Phono Stage
    • New Rega Aethos Amplifier
    • Fyne Audio F703 speakers (Thanks to Fyne Audio for lending us these)

    Reception Room (The Fun Room)
    • Chris and Dawn selling their great selection of used and new Vinyl
    • Rega Planar 2

    All Set For Our Rega Vinyl Open Day Tomorrow!

    Hi Everyone,

    After a busy day setting up it is now time to quickly post this and sit back and test the various systems in preparation for tomorrow's Rega Vinyl open day, it's a tough job but someone has got to do it.

    We will have 4 rooms running + Chris on hand selling his records so please feel free to come along and feel free to bring any vinyl you'd like to hear.

    Please find a few pics below of the various setups, in all of them the speakers are a fair bit more expensive than the amps driving them but it seems to really work.













    Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

    Regards,

    Paul.

    Gorgeous set-ups Paul.

    The Fyne speakers certainly have a Tannoy-esque vibe going on.
