I've done quite a bit of research and the P-6 appears to be one of the best bargains out there, if not the best. The added power supply, cartridge and superior build quality over the P-3 makes it more cost effective over an upgraded P-3.
Couldn’t agree more. Rega really does a good job at having a price point for everyone.
Really helpful video. Thank you. In particular, the advice to listen within the price range is sensible and helpful.
Thank so much for watching.
great video. cant wait to upgrade to a rega with you guys
I still love my Planar 3 with the Elys 2 cartridge and feel no need to upgrade :D Rega sure do make good products.
That’s a good setup!
I have had a planar 2 for 35 years it has given no trouble regular cartridge change service every couple of years ,rega carbon cartridge at the moment performs very well
This is why it’s only turntable we sale and recommend. Stories just like this.
Thanks for a good video. I have the P6 and actually made some upgrades by replacing the glass platter with a Delrin platter (and subplatter) by Groovetracer. Also added their counterweight. Really happy with the performance of the table and now just moved from the Ania to the Apheta 3. Big jump in sound.
I think of upgrading my rp3 to a grovetracer Delrin platter too. So you think its worth the Extra cost?
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Lucca Solomon instablaster :)
@Ishaan Wesley i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Ishaan Wesley it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
It looks gorgeous.
👊🏻👍☺️
I ended up purchasing an Ania Pro and am looking forward to hearing the difference in sound compared to my Ania on my P6. I was also able to find and buy a Rega IOS MC phono amp and I have to say it is quite something! I`m thinking the Ania Pro/IOS combo will be sweet!
May I ask how if the Pro meet york expectations? I heard it as demo at my dealer and really liked it but went for the hana sl die to Budget and it beats the ania in my ears but the ania pro I thank could be worth it as the next step fwd
Great honest review... I am lucky enough to have the P6 with a dynavector 20x2l MC cart, Aria phonostage & Aethos amp. They sound great... I may upgrade to the P8 but have the new PMC floorstander speakers 25/23i the new ones to listen to first to see IF i need to upgrade the P6, I’m loathe to let go of it just yet.... 👍🏻🔊. looking forward to your Aethos review ???
RiaTolstoy we have more videos coming soon! An Aethos May be making an appearance 😉
@@joeylopezphd yay!!!! Can't wait... 👍👍
I have one and the first thing I noticed is no matter how much I increased the volume all the way to the threshold of damaging my speakers there was never the tiniest amount of the rumble i had a problem with from my last turntable.
Awesome.
Wow. You said a word I had to look up in a dictionary. You said the p3 was the seminole. Now I am not daft so I presume it was the "runaway" model from the 1 & 2 model rega's. Anyhow I now call my rega 3 which I will never change as I love it to my rega 3 seminole as it sounds well posh. Great video's & info by the way.
You nailed it.
Have the p7 with upgraded rb1000. More than satisfied . Next step p8 but with rb3000
Very cool.
Joey, nice video! Luv my P6 with Exact, waiting to mount my Denon DL-103R...hope the mass matches?
Hi, Tom. How did you get on with mounting a Denon DL-103R on your P6? I've been thinking of doing the same thing and I'll love to know what you think.
@@alangeorgebarstow not on yet, but will add 3 grams of mass to cart and raise arm 2mm at the base this weekend.
@@tomlocke7628 Thanks. I'd love to know how it sounds.
Thanks for the nice review. What kind of phono pre would you use and has it a big impact? Which price range would you choose and what about the new Rega Aria 3 with the Rega P6? Did you ever try a Nagaoka MP-300 (MI) to this system or would you recommend only MC on this level of turntables... Thanks! :)
The P6 is a great table, we have customers with MM’s and MC’s. It really depends on what you are going for sound wise, a must listen. As for phono sections, the Fono MC has made many customers happy, the Aria is a great upgrade, but at a significant price jump. Hope that helps.
Great info from Joey.
Hey, what a nice guy!
Well thank you.
Hey Joey! GREAT video and thank you for the review!
(but)..Cheeese and Rice the $$- that's incredible - I would LOVE to get into that space, however, coming from a thrift store Vintage Dual 1229Q....just can't fathom that price point atm. Guess I'm just going to be content "Covetting" these and keeping a 2nd hand eye out!
here's a thought - maybe I can purchase a DEMO ? DM me!
Email us!
Great review.
I’m looking for a P3 I mostly listen to rock and blues, some Jazz.
Can't go wrong with the P3. Those genres are perfect for vinyl.
I have a 2018 P2 it sounds great but I’m getting the upgrade itch. How does the Elys 2 compare to the Carbon?
Pretty significant difference. Definitely peels a layer of sound out of the vinyl. Much recommend.
@@Dreamonoids 👍
@@Dreamonoids I have a P3 & I Love it!
any video on how to connect to rega fono mc? having issues with it only producing sound from one speaker, tested wires and the sound would flip from speaker to speaker. we have the elex-r integrated amplifier as well. need help!! can't find any discussions on topic.
It is a straight forward L/R RCA connection in the back from the leads of the P6. So here is the question for your issue. When you flip the L/R from the turntable does it switch speakers? If no, then if you switch the L/R from the Fono MC does it switch? If it switches at the turntable lead we knows the the turntable. If it switches at the Phono MC we know it’s the Fono MC and might need to be taken to the dealer to be looked at because this shouldn’t be happening. Does this help?
@@joeylopezphd thank you joey. it does. switches at the Fono
second defective one we've gotten in same boat. what are the odd of that?!?! crazy :)
Terribly sorry about that. Hope you eventually got it all resolved.
Joey, what turntable you recommend for a Yamaha RX-A2A receiver+Wharfadale EVO4.2 speakers setup?
If you are just looking for occasional record listening with really great sound and no major upgrading, a Rega P2 would suit this setup very well. If you want something a bit more upgradable over time (power supply and cartridge), I would recommend a P3/Exact setup.
Is Ania MC cartridge relatively fragile compared to Exact (affecting the longevity of the cartridge or the needle)? How much improvement in sonic/musical quality can we expect by upgrading from Exact to Ania (not Pro) on P6? I understand it's subjective, but would still like to hear your (subjective) opinion.
The Ania and the Exact are two different cartridges that’s for sure. While close in price they have a different presentation due to their design. I recently had a customer purchase an Exact who owns an Ania. He uses them both because he loves the sound of both. As for longevity, in the most practical sense the Exact should last longer then the Ania. The “limitation” of the Exact is its ability to be resolving, but the seduction of it is it’s frequency coherency and smoothness. Both cartridges are good at PRAT (pace, rhythm, and timing). Hope that helps.
@@joeylopezphd Wow! Such a detailed response. Thank you very much. Kindly do a video on general care and maintenance of a (Rega) turntable and its various parts at home.
@@rednao I would really like to see a video about that, too!
Great question, glad Joey was able to help out.
Thanks 🎉
You’re welcome.
I have an exact 2 cartridge pre-fitted on my brand new p6 that I just bought for my ninteen birtday. I'm wondering which catridge beetween the Ania or the Ania pro is more worth the money ( or if I should stick to the exact) once my stylus is worn of.
The Exact is amazing to enjoy. When you’ve gotten all the use out of it the Ania Pro on a P6 is an excellent pairing.
Hi there, considering the P6 Ania Pro Combo, do you think 65db gain would suffice for this cartridge? Thx
Yes 65b should work fine.
So, can you take the RCA's off of the P6 or are they permanent.
They are permanent.
Rega forever. Dont even consider anything else. Build quality sound reproduction is exceptional. Any of there range will last you 2+ decades. If you have limited funds consider the classic p3 . Does everything right for the money. It has the ability to match well with moving coil cartridges and with even higher standards than their own range. Put an ortofon cadenza black on this rig and you will be totally surprised. One tip thou if your budget is on the higher side go straight to the p8 . Nothing at this price point challenges the p8. Hail the king of turntables
This guy knows his turntables.
What would you consider to buy P6 with ania or Project x8 with quintet blue?
good evening what are the differences with rp 6 thank you
The older model RP 6?
Very good review, I am thinking about moving up from my Dual CS 5000 with Grado mm cartridge. But dude, how about wearing a shirt that is not stained?
Sorry I just sweat a lot. But I hear ya on that. In Texas it was been 100 degrees plus for months.
@@joeylopezphd it's all good. I will be buying this turntable with the Ania MC cartridge once I get my tax return in March.🙂 You provided one of the more insightful reviews on this turntable.
Thanks for the feedback! You’re going to love that combination.
@Dreamonoid's Hi-Fi You are the third person who said the Ania Pro was a nice update from the regular Ania cartridge. I will take your word for it. Planning on purchasing the R6 with the Ania Pro in the next 30 days. I will report back after I get it
This vs Clearaudio Concept?
We do not sell Clearaudio. We do know they make great tables as well.
Well said Joey.
So a turntable don't need to be heavy .
I have a Technics SL-1210MK7. It weighs 10 kg. Over 20 pounds. Does it need to be so heavy?
Not at all. Rega turntables are very light, and rival/surpass any turntable on the market. The design and research is where the real weight is.
Ok .
Rega builds their turntables to be light and rigid. The Technics is a totally different design approach, especially as it is built for DJ use. It uses a high torque direct drive motor and the weight of it is less about audio quality and more about durability as they are built to be used for live performance. Think of it as comparing high performance farm machinery (the Technic) and a F1 car. Two totally different purposes, both have wheels.
iOk @@Dreamonoids
I see.
👍
👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the Review. I have a rp3 but its hard to judge the difference in upgrading when its just described by words. And even more with RUclips-language poeple are using "game changer" "stellar" "blow me away".
You are correct, in your situation, heading to a dealer with your RP3 and doing a direct comparison is the best way to know the difference.
@@joeylopezphd yes and I excited to do it. I'm in two mind for getting a P8 or upgrading the rp3 with a delrin platter and a subplatter.
Aloomanum!! No, it's pronounced al you min yum.
Not in the United States.
Shirt doesnt match.
We will scold Joey for his wardrobe choices.
Wet t-shirt again.
We are in Texas and it’s hot and I sweat. It happens.
Some people pay good money to see wet t-shirts you lucky devil.
Nothing about Rega turntables impress me. When i see one I think "where is my money going? What am I getting for $1-4K?" They look like cheap toys to me. Just not a fan.
It’s not what about you “see” or “look like” it’s about the sound.
