RE: I like "Tusk" better than "Rumours."

Yes, but the outgoing RP8 is over 3 grand with cart though and this new Planar 8 is heavily based on the Naiad concept table from a few short years back so who knows what the prices will be on these or how much more will they go up over the outgoing model - hence even looking at a second hand Rega to enable the upgrade sooner and enjoy.

I know not everyone will love the Rega sound but they do have quite a following and it seems they hold up for the very long haul.

Anyway, even if I wanted to go with a MC cartridge, even if low output, I can order the Muffsy head amp for the Muffsy and be done with, but there again, if the Ania is so low in output can the head unit work with it?

It'll be interesting to see just how good this new model is as I hear the Planar 6, introduced last year is scarely good in and of itself and it has I believe the improved bearing over the P3, has the Olifin based foam plinth, but the same RB330 arm as the Planar 3, has a thicker glass platter, all aluminum sub platter but the same motor and anti vibration circuit of the P3 and of course gets the new Neo Power supply as standard, where as the P3 gets it as an option.

It's one of those designs that when I first heard about them, nearly 20 years ago, I fell in love with its KISS principal of design and how they did incrimental improvements to refine the already sound design principal that's been in use since the early 70's so the more I read, the more I hear how good the improvements have been over time, the more I liked.

Anyway, gotta get working and get bills and some debt paid down first though.
