5:57 "Above the A5 sits the A15" - well, not literally looking at your table. That was confusing, maybe you should have stacked them in order. But good video.

Upgrade 4 belts?

Maybe next time they can improve, upgrade the battery capacity (mAh) 😊

Why the hell am I looking at this? I can't even afford a H120 😅

I wish they would make a turntable with this level of build quality and the simpler looks of the SL-1500/100c

I dont like amplifiers with no recout i like denon 900hne

I have the older Arcam A39 in class G...I must be honest and say I'm not overly happy with the sound...I mean it's OK but I did expect it to be better considering the price $3600 Aust...For example my 15 yo Exposure 2010 outguns it in every way....Apparently the newer SA and Radia's series have good reviews and many happy owners...maybe mine needs looking at !

Can it play in reverse?

Harry ...its 24 ct gold LEAF (not LEAFS)....you say the "bag has a soft premium feel "....a lot like yourself 😅😅😅

Im looking for a new amp for vinyl only not really worried about digital. Would you recommended the 25 over the 15 i have a linn turntable and kef ls50 speakers. Or any other amp in the £1500 range. Thx

I like well designed and built turntables. I know from decades of experience that both ridgidity AND build quality- mass are integral to what makes a great turntable. The Rega is marketing entirely on the the fact that it is ridged and as light weight as it can be to support all the functionality of the table. So they got it half right, costing them less than if the table was massive. However, they are charging a fee that suggests it's a massive well built table, which it is not. Aside from performance, I don't want to look at a table thinking it should cost way less than I spent. I would also be concerned about the use of foam as a plinth, regardless of what the company says. Wait 10 years after testing to prove out the longevity of that foam and that it will stay in tact regardless of changing room temps, before you try to sell me it. It's moot for me since I'm not in the financial demographic that Rega is clearly targeting.

Love automatic so my 1600mk2 stays. It will outlast me

Can someone just explain because I don't get it. How can this turntable not be anything other than good for dj's. It's built like mk2's with the solid rubber mould. You can adjust the torque if I'm not mistaken. The motor is improved. It has a pitch control. For the price what sense what it make to have a lesser pitch control than a mk7. Surely they'll use the same components. Is because of the price tag and dj's can't justify the price so bash the turntable? I hear a lot of grumblings and probably from DJ's that haven't even touched the thing. If it's the feet, can't you just purchase mk7 feet? I sold my 1200 mk's a few years ago and the only real option if I want the same build quality and true to feel would be to buy a set of these... Regardless of cost. Please enlighten me.

That is not the phantom 2. It's next to it is the reactor. How do you not know that?

I just bought them can’t wait to get them on the mail same dune color

Hello. As i know Phantom gold was 4500watt and Phantom 1 is 1100watt, right? So Phantom 1 sounds less louder ???

Amazing review

Using something like a Denon 103 can be a struggle to get enough head shell mass (or effective tonearm mass I guess) for proper control of the low compliance cartridge. In my experience, I added head shell weight and the supplied extra counter weight to balance or the sound suffered. I bought the DL-103 not realizing how low compliance it is and it sounded awful (noticeably worse than a N97xE or a AT-VM95ML) until I educated myself and applied the tuning above (yes, with appropriate MC Pre). Thought it was the stylus differences but no, for me it was setup. Also, it's worth mentioning something most reviewers tend to miss - the supplied head shell has a set screw which allows for azimuth adjustment. Mine was noticeably off out of the box and the micro-line cartridge sounded very unbalanced until I dialed in the azimuth. I'm not at all a golden ear but I do actually hear the differences with proper set up given all the cartridge and geometry fussing about for setup. I've since bought a bunch of head shells to experiment and realized after the fact most of the cheap ones do not allow azimuth changes - I encourage buying ones which do allow for azimuth adjustment. Absolutely love the TT. Mine did not come with a 3mm spacer as mentioned by some other reviewers, so again - the 103 needs one. The tonearm on the black model is silver not black - doesn't bother me - maybe just a variation on later shipping models since I bought mine roughly Feb 2024. Copied most of this from other videos since I see this info often missing.

I use the 1210GR for archiving. I doubt I would notice any difference in performance in the GR2 that would justify an additional $400 in expense. Also, there's no way a strobe light can compete with modern internal electronics for precise speed regulation. I guess Technics feel they need the strobe as a branding device. Note that the new Denon 3xxx DD deck doesn't have a strobe. A modern DD TT doesn't need one for calibration.

There is a cover.

Great Technics, 💚🧡💙 What is the difference between Technics Gr & Technics Mk ?

Can you stream Tidal in high res with wifi connection on this amp?

Looks grate. I nead it.

REGA YOU SHOULD COMPEAR TOTALLY NOT TO THORENS.... BUT TO REVOX ...

6:50 are you sure about the ability to pair with another speaker for a TRUE STEREO? I can't seem to find any info on this. Also I think you might have missed the fact that is BT5 which is pretty outdated even by 2022 standards, especially for a high end audio product

And audio continues to shave off value by not including a stupid grill. Next - Tweeter sold separately. AFter that - woofer and tweeter sold separately. Cheesy, cheap crossover and steel binding posts - all sold searately. Screws to hold stuff together--yup, on its own. A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON DEPARTED

Fo you have this model yet?

Interesting you talk about its looks and how the feet make it "appealing". I find the looks of it quite offputting all round. Would be very interested to hear how it sounds though.

I use my H590 with an external DAC with phenomenal results!!!

I understand the need to make videos that sell a product. But very few people talk about the actual user experience. For example - there is no cover - the records will collect dust. How to avoid this?

Is GR2 good for dj and scratch ?? (as MK7)

I wish all these turntables came with the option of auto return...I know I'm in the minority, but I want all these bells & whistles with auto return...The 1510 or whatever the last model with auto return was looks like crap...How hard would it be to include it and have a kill switch for DJ types that don't want it?...I love the look and design of the 1210GR2, but I want it to return after playing...For $2000-$2500 you ought to be able to get the combination of features you want...Anyway...

I have thier old and going strong A&R A60 apm , with a Rega 50th anniversary turntable with HIfi man Headphones , it`s Heaven. I,m very tempted for the CD 5.

Rega, the masters of marketing. Diminishing returns are strong with this.

You must be MAGA. Total shithead.

The 1200GR(1) also incorporates the anti-cogging thing too... And that other Sigma thing no doubt makes inaudible changes at best. Lol... Nope, the GR (1) is still the best buy.

Promo>SM 😕

Not for dj's

🔥

I didn’t like the prodigy 5 at all in my independent review. Your video is very well made video, love it, but I don’t think you can really call it a review when you sell them. If I was you I’d just concentrate on a longer dialogue about the tech and leave the word review out.

Great video guys… need to come and listen !

H400 anybody?? 😃

ST5 connected to A25 via digital then if the amp has a better Pro DAC? Or do the segregated components and Jitter correction of the ST5 trump that?

Bought the rn1000 and I really wanted to like it as it sounded amazing but the MusicCast app doesn’t provide gapless playback with Amazon music so I sent it back. 10 seconds between songs was a deal breaker.

I have the SL-1210GR and love the looks of it , I don't like the all blacked out look of the SL-1210GR2

I have a pair of 1971 Dovedale"s all still original tweeters paper woofers & grills they still sound beautiful I will never sell them,there's a video on my TH-cam,thank you Peter your the best!

Do yo have a video comparing Yamaha 2 channel receivers vs the HT receivers? Are the DAC's the same?

do you think that A15 will handfle the KLH model 3 ?

I'll take two.

We prize in this video the Italian craftsmanship of Sf yet those specific speakers are Made in China. They are designed in Italy for sure but the benefits of the Italian craftsmanship aren't here. We need to understand what the word craftsmanship encapsulates. The benefit apparently here is the price tag/cut. Having said that, I will kind of negate my own point here by admitting that since probably 95% of products nowadays are Made in China, the Chinese are becoming better craftsmen. Practice makes you better! In every respect, we love Sf.
