Nicer than mine, which has a black plinth. Didn’t knew that you could have white plinth. Is it a recent possibility ?
Not a fan of the white ceramic platter, for the look. With a white plinth, the tt looks better. Even quite nice. Gorgeous ? No.
But for the money you won’t find something better and hassle free.

I’d stick with the P3 or eventually Stretch to RP10

My humble P8 … :heart_eyes:

I think it is fairly recent, but all Rega turntables (except the Naia) can now be bought in white

It’s partly white

You can’t believe how pleased I am to be showing you a turntable

Just reviewed the AT ART-20 and it’s a wonderful match for the Gyro/SME IV sonically and visually.

I love the way that all three elements - turntable, arm and cartridge look like they’ve been designed by engineers not marketeers!

Naia ?

Yes it’s the model up from the RP10

I tried the Inspire Acri Mat years ago.

Thought I’d try it to stop the Linn felt mat being lifted off with the record through static.

Killed the music dead.

I had the P8 before the P10. While the P10 is of course better, it’s not dramatic and I could easily have gone on with the P8 - it’s just that I had the funds, the itch to upgrade and really liked the looks of the RB3000 arm! P8 with Ania/Ania Pro is really good, but is taken to another level when adding an Apheta 3 (which I did shortly before moving to the P10). My LP12 (which was part of my home office system in my former house) is now sold and while I do miss the classic turntable look, the P10 is just a better fit in my current environment - it sits on top of the Ikea furniture unsuspended and doesn’t skip or wobble whereas with the LP12 I had to tip toe around (and while I could have used a wall shelf, I discarded the idea for aesthetic reasons).

Tahanks @PSAN … I’m indeed considering an Apheta 3 when it is time to replace the Ania cartridge (no idea about the lifetime) … the P8 is really good indeed and my better half reaaly likes the looks better than the LP12.

The RB3000 arm looks lovely indeed!

What did you reject? I find TEAC’s Washi paper mat for €30 works a treat on my Lenco platter? The two sides sound different but eventually I settled on white side up. It doesn’t like record weights.

I have a TEAC deck with plain stock TEAC felt mat. I tried the excellent rubber mat from my Technics deck but it was an awful combination.

I think if the mat on the TEAC is to be upgraded, maybe another felt like the Collaro would be better.

Since one year I have the Clearaudio Concept with a Grado 2300 MM cartridge through the Naim stageline.
Upgrade to MC is in the making, but first a set of new monitors.

@marove - the ClearAudio turntable looks stunning. Great aesthetic and great sound.
