thanks for that detailed post. i have been running my turntable through the phono input of my arcam integrated. i am using a good benz 2.5mv cartridge and things sound good, but i keep thinking that there is more available. for one thing, it really seems like it needs more gain as i have to play an LP about 10 volume clicks higher to get a comparable volume to a cd. also, the bass does not seem as impactful as i think it should be.
is the rega unit tube or solid state, i wasn't clear from your post? and the cost?

thanks.

Nice review.

I'm surprised that the Music Fidelity didn't do better in comparison. I'm not familiar with either unit, so what's the price differential?
