WOW. Tom Evans has not only trashed the value of his company, he has also trashed the resale value for owners.

Can you drive mk1 kanns with a quad 306 power amplifier,?

High I wander if you had any idea of a fix on nad 533 same as planar 2 there's an oscillating noise from motor spindle

did I miss the review somewhere in that 13 minutes?

Fuses? 😂 I suppose when your invested interest is selling products, learning how things work and talking about factual knowledge takes a backseat.

I bought my Linn system in the late 90s. Still sounds good. Never a pproblem with it. I would hate to think i was looking for a system now. Everything seems to be Chinese manufactured.

yeh yeh £6000 pounds .... for a repair had better wrapping ftom ebay ...... boring

These are the best speakers ive ever owned. Just cant get close to these for the price. Great review.

Sorry you got stuck with this plastic box of mid fi.

It is interesting with audiophile gear the price tag is what makes it sound good not the electronics.

It makes the 50th anniversary I just bought feel way less special for sure. Bad move by Rega really.

This truly is the audiophile world summed up. “Experts” who talk out of their ass with no engineering background or experience and are so easily impressed by heavy cases and cheap materials marketed to rich morons.

Tom Evans joins dCs as companies I’ll never deal with.

The kicker is, that Mark was carefull not to slag off the principle behind how the unit was designed... He just got in, and fixed it..

It's not too bad for a budget cable.

Thanks for posting this. I've got a 506-1 that now has an AT VM95e which seems heavier than the stock cart. I thought it was going to require me buying supplementary counterweights (while praying such a thing exists) to get it set up right.

Oh boy this made me laugh...... have you listened to it? What a "review", this is just a sales pitch/advert!

It looks like something straight out of aliexpress and Mark's video about the internals pretty much shows it's the same thing going on inside too

Branded boxes are the furthest thing from "massively expensive", but that should be the leastof your worries.

Synergistic fuses, generally brilliant; the new ping - awesome!!

too bad, I didn't know this brand at all, but now I know it's a big scam... greeting from Morocco.... I repeat Morocco hahaha

It has a "grip" on the speakers? lol It sounds like the presenter has a grip on something else. Audiophoolery.

They're apparently named after the designer's daughter so my guess is the correct pronunciation is Fee-on (Welsh name meaning foxglove). They look nice, but the price is way too rich for me, sadly. PS, sorry for sounding like the Welsh pronunciation police

Tom Evans Audio Phono stage was very impressive... Expensive and shitty. You have a promotion video for it in your Chanel.

Rega again💤happy regus🎅and an atoll new year💤💤💤

Thanks to Mend it Mark, now i know all about Tom Evans "quality" of products

I expect Phil would prefer a Rega p2 to a Linn lp12!

Much prefer a rubber mat to a felt mat. Gets rid of static electricity problems.

Mine doesn't turn at all. Do I have to chuck it and buy a new one?

When I was a hifi salesman, back in the 70s and 80s, I fitted cartridges to and set up hundreds of different turntables and arms. My advice is to keep the stylus guard on or flipped down when you balance the arm. There is no detectable weight increase with a flip up stylus guard down and none of any significance with a removable one kept on and you can compensate for that if you want to be very picky by setting the downforce very slightly higher so that its correct when the guard is removed. Its very easy to ruin a stylus tip or cantilever and / or its delicate suspension if you inadvertantly drop the arm and it catches and skids across the mat, or if you brush it with your finger. It has happened to me. You have been warned. By the way, there is little point in buying a stylus downforce guage. High quality pick up arms are very precise balances themselves though maybe not quite so precise with cheaper arms, and often more accurate than a cheap guage. Its such an unnecessary faff anyway. Hi res streaming is the way forward 😊

Thank you for the intel. 👌

Just don't talk nonsense.

Aftermarket mods devalue your kit. I just got the RP3 rs and it's packed with upgrades but subplatter was left alone. Think about that.

Well this review hasn't aged well 🤣🤣🤣 Nice review of a cardboard box though.

The sound quality on your video certainly does not scream audiophile

Thanks Phil for all your help with my 1985 Rega 3 service, oil change and capacitor replacement have brought back the sound! Enjoy the weather in Cheshire - its a bit warmer here in joburg!

Everything bought from Tom Evans is overpriced garage project... In short-overpriced cr*p. Louis said It all and Mark uncovered It. 6000 pounds service charge to change one faulty capacitor? Come on!

Using the ND7 on my Planar 6. A brilliant set up

Thank you. It was the dimmer on my light! I've been messing with it for 2 weeks since I got a new Rega

Well, this aged well.

Excellent. I use a RB250 and a groove tracer upgraded weight. I have found my music is much more punchy and bass more dynamic if I go a little higher on the bias. I normally play a record and slightly adjust it to taste. I also don’t eyeball tracking force. I use a digital stylus gauge for exact settings.

How much?

Phil could you please do a video for how not to snap wires when changing a cart. All the best.

Significantly easier with a good digital gauge.

"There's one born every minute".

Brave lad, exposed stylus and woolly jumper. 😮

Merry Christmas Phil and thanks for so many great videos this year

I think this also applies to the RB100.

why don't they put the disc wheel on the weight how much is it going to cost the manufacturer quarter of a penny not like these things are cheap. and that's another thing I can't just doesn't need 1.8g, if that's it's half point in the total plus and minus, you adjust it to how you find it best as long as you don't exceed the maximum or the minimum. it is given as a reference and you can go up or down from it's equilibrium ideally by 0.3max . there's no hard fast rule. and I hear this argument that is wrong. central fugal force doesn't play a part that is not science, that is incorrect. and it doesn't ride on the inner groove that is wrong as well it rides on the outer groove because of Central fuga force and it's given pivot point what would cause the arm to ride to the centre the closer it is. that's why if you have a long enough arm at 21" it is compensated for both of these factors no anti skate is required , that's why you have anti skate to compensate this issue. the inner groove is the inner part of the spiral groove not the outer groove of a spiral. it is not difficult to understand but everybody gets it wrong!
