Mal posso esperar pelo lançamento do pré e do amplificador de potência, é por isso que não consegui um ethos e tenho o NAIA pronto para alguns deles. Estou usando o google tradutor, então peço desculpas pelo mau português. Obrigado por compartilhar suas amáveis ​​​​palavras e por ser um entusiasta da Rega. Vejo que você também é um grande fã!

@@joeyshifishop Está tudo bem a nível do português, (google tradutor),eu peço desculpa de não usar o inglês, pois entendo a ouvir falar, cerca de 70% e se fosse a escrever, iria errar muito, com certeza. :) Estive tentado a comprar um Ethos, mas prefiro esperar por esses que estão para chegar, também o Elicit MK 5, vai fazendo as "honras", sem ficar muito envergonhado. :) O agradecido sou eu, por ser uma pessoa bem sensata pelo que tenho visto nos videos, também agradeço o seu feedback. Sim, sou grande fã da marca Rega desde os anos 80`s. Comecei com um rega planar 3, adorei tanto que na altura, comecei a tentar melhorá-lo, escavei por baixo do braço, mas no mdf, ou madeira prensada, para alargar o furo, a fim da porca de um braço da Roksan, o tabriz, começar a apanhar a rosca do tabriz que ficava mais curto, que o RB 300, Grande asneira, o som soava com muita coloração por comparação ao RB 300, creio que era este o modelo na altura, conclusão, nunca mais fiz experiências malucas. Os engenheiros da Rega são muito mais capacitados que eu nesse campo. :) Voltei a montar o RB 300, a coisa melhorou, mas acabei, por comprar outro igual, ainda tinham o botão redondo on/off na parte de cima do plinto. Na altura tinha amplificação da Musical Fidelity, tive A1 classe A e 1 B-200 com umas Monitor Audio series1200 gold cor cerejeira. Andando mais uns anos e alguma coisa pelo caminho, em 2018 comprei um P3, passado um tempo um P8 com a Ania Pro MC, e agora tenho o maravilhoso P10...O Naia, quem sabe...? Por enquanto estou bem. Sou muito fã da Rega pela sua filosofia aplicada ao engenho. Você paga e tem mais do que aquilo que pedem pelos produtos deles, também não quer, o Roy Gandy, que a empresa caia nas mãos dos chineses, daí os empregados, poderem ser donos um dia da Rega, para esta ficar aqui em UK. Comecei neste mundo muito novinho, com cerca de 17 anos, sou de 66, portanto vou fazer 59 se lá chegar :) Também tenho o hobby das motas, mas isso é muito menos seguro. :) Fortes saudações de Portugal, e continue com seu excelente trabalho.

Yes! I will provide one in a couple weeks once some good listening sessions have happened. Thanks for the comment!

Oh it's currently getting moved around :).There is more to the puzzle, not sure if you saw the empty shelf... But it is all in play :)

I am guessing you meant why do you NOT see many channels playing music through their systems. My reason is that I am trying to avoid copyright violations. When I do play music, I often try and use a local band I have permission from. There are royalty free music tracks from youtube you can use, however that does not help me with playing albums. Maybe I search for some royalty free vinyls. Great questions btw!

@@joeyshifishop thanks for the reply , I realized you are right in that many ways reviewers use only digital sources and so don’t have the limitations of vinyl play for such short segments of music . But how do so many I ve seen play whole tracks before commenting ? I’m not sure they have permission or copyright strikes , but maybe they do ? It seems a but unfair to impose copyright strikes when the purpose and use is to critically inform and not for entertainment alone .its a minefield that seems more relevant for the pre online , pre you tube formats . One would think that some musicians would be happy to having the free exposure and I know I’ve bought many albums solely from hearing them on you tube reviews or showing of someones audio system . Thanks for the reply ,my question wasnt a criticism just an enquiry and I’m appreciate you could see that and give me a full answer . Finding new cartridges can be a nightmare these days when there are so few material shops where one can try them out and online reviews are important for genuine critiques. Cheers !

@@domtomas1178 for your setup I suggest either a P6/Nd7, I think it would be competitive with what you have. Of course a P8 with an Apheta 3 would be stellar too. But a P6/Nd7 is no joke. Feel free to ask more questions.

@@ptg01 I’ll get the posted in my blog on my website. I did realize it after I uploaded. Good catch. Hope you enjoyed it otherwise.

@@ptg01 I got the link up in the description.

@@23FalseProphet Nd7 is an amazing cartridge, it definitely would be great in the P3 and then if you upgrade it should be great all the way up to a P8.

@@joeyshifishop Ok great…thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated..

@@Bootrosgali luckily there are many cable options and scenarios for this dac to be used. I will say it works best from my experience as a dac/headphone amp. When I use it as a dac, I have had to turn it back on as it auto shuts off after a while. Maybe I can look at the settings and see if there is an ability to always have it on. It always staying on would be horrible as a on the good headphone dac/amp so I understand why it does turn off. That all said, it sounds so amazing, I am shocked at how well it performs compared to others.

@@timothyfreeseha4056 😅

@@davepounds8924 great question! I sell Grado Lab products and Resolution Audio. I am also going to be picking up a few more lines over the next year or so. I opened in July of 2024. As you can tell I really like Rega as a brand, to me they are one of the best in the business as a whole. They are hand made in the UK and do not advertise. They have been around 50 plus years and their resolve to keep putting out unique equipment makes them tough to beat. That said there are some other fun brands out there and over time I will introduce some more at the shop.

@@j0rg9humbertosp33 Estou usando um tradutor, então desculpe quaisquer erros. Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário. Que sistema legal você tem, um P10 e Aura é uma combinação muito boa. A Rádio é uma peça tão legal da história da Rega. Aproveite o seu dia e ouça música!

@@joeyshifishop (Tudo ótimo sem erros). Vou tentar adquirir um (rádio). Muito obrigado pelo seu video e feedback. Boa continuação. Saudações de Portugal para você.

@@joeyshifishop Olá, tudo de bom. Cheguei a ter o Aria, pois antes do P10, tive o P8 e dentro do preço acho o Aria muito bom. Mas achei que tinha de dar o "salto" para o Aura, tem uma excelente construção e estou extremamente satisfeito com a sua performance. Obrigado pelo valor que o seu canal acrescenta em termos de conhecimento.

@@arunaryan1983 thanks! I got it hooked up and it’s sounding awesome.

@@ptg01 Yup! I will continue to cover vintage gear, while new equipment gets the most views, I feel covering vintage gear is part of keeping tabs on the history and lineage of how we got to where we are and also to explore the longevity of the equipment.

@@prankaAlfa65 you know surprisingly there is not, but I didn’t even think of it at the time. I think it is because they don’t put out a ton of bass and also the room they are in is huge. They have just enough low end to sound full.

@@stephenatherton9778 there is some. What’s nice about the Elicit MK5 is it has so many similar attributes to the Aethos. Btw we keep it on 24/7.

@@justusdeville P8 is an amazing table!

@@cdbeen123 that’s awesome that you got a Nd7 on the P10, I bet it is singing!

@@Robbo-eh3wb P10 and an Apheta 3 is a really fun setup. Keep the tunes spinning!

@@PerfDayToday kind of. I had a customer who had ATC’s and the importer at the time loved Mana stands. So he had a fabricator make him a similar style stand. I think the main difference is instead of ball bearings to hold the glass it uses pointed set screws which I really appreciate having tuned the mana stands back in the day. Good eye!

@@joeyshifishop nice, thxs for that update.. Mana was all the "'*#)^S" back in the day.. nice fab!

@@PerfDayToday Yeah back in the day at Concert Sound in San Antonio we were one of the biggest ATC dealers at the time and a Linn/Naim shop and sold a ton of Mana.

@@joeyshifishop nice shop!

@ thanks, slowly but surely I am building it up!

@@simondalmon6666 I do think it would be a worthy upgrade. However you should definitely demo it and make sure. The Elicit is a great match with the P8 and sounds like it would integrate nicely with your system. Another route that might be interesting is to start with your phono section and upgrade to a Rega Aria.

@joeyshifishop thank for your advice. It would be nice to try both options in my home environment. Obviously the Aria would be the cheapest route.

@@simondalmon6666 Aria would also work with the Elicit MK5 down the road…🤓

@@yannolove1335 I haven’t had huge heat issues with the Mira, granted I haven’t had any customers store them in a cabinet. The Aethos runs hot even in the open, that’s for sure.

@@aprobin1 if you get to try them let me know what you think. I figure you will find them to be a blend of the two speakers you have in a good way.

@@MeBallerman It’s vintage. How many generations ago was the Mira 3? Maybe we are a bit older than we think….😅

@@joeyshifishop I still consider my Mira 3 as new. It was pretty expensive, and very well built, and still the newest part of my hifi. I have System Audio 1070 speakers, bought autumn of 1997. A Thorens TD 280 MK IV turntable, bought together with the speakers. A French (!) MicroMega Premium 20 CD player bought in 1999 - and an AM/FM tuner Aura err something, from 1996. One COULD call the tuner for "vintage", as my provider doesn't deliver FM signal anymore, so have to use an aerial, but there's no power in the earial. My Aura tuner is actually of no use these days...

@@MeBallermanI mean don’t get me wrong, I am not saying since it is vintage it is some how inferior. I get customers Mira’s all the time for new systems as they are amazing to this day. Sounds like you got a solid system going!

@@fw1421 yeah, the Rega P3 RS is making its way over to me to have on deck. I love the Rega P3, it’s such a cool piece. And the RS is really nice. It’s fun to get the big pieces, but you are right, the P3 really is a stellar piece of kit, especially with their new carts!

@@garrycleak3055 I have many customers with Mira’s in all kinds of systems as you mention. They have great character.

@@garrycleak3055 the original P9 and the 2000’s P9 are my favorite looking Rega turntables. The nude designs are cool in their own right and boy do they sound amazing. I like their designs for other reasons, but in an old school retro way the P9 ticks so many boxes. Glad you are enjoying your setup. What cart are you running?

@ Hi Joey, yes I love the old school looks, actually I think the P9 is Regas nicest looking deck ever. I actually owned a p10 for a little while. I did not get along with it , both from an ergonomic point of view ( I like a proper dust cover and body!) and actually I think I like the sound of the P 9 more , don’t ask how or why , maybe I found the 10 a bit TOO clinically revealing.. As for my cart I’m still on Regas Aphetta 2. It’s coming due for replacement soon so will either move to the Aphetta 3 or something like A Soundsmith moving iron Zephyr. My other associated gear includes Amps Unison Unico Primo and a Pathos Classic One . Speakers are Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor. Also considering some new speakers soon maybe Opera or Unison. Bit of an Italian theme, You bet.👍

@ wow that’s a good setup. The P10 with the Aphelion 2 is an amazing setup, with the Apheta it is good, but it definitely had me fooled in how it sounded until I heard Aphelion 2 on it. The P9 is an amazing piece and I think it’s awesome you run an Apheta 2 on it, such a great setup!

@@ptg01 yes same packing, totally different materials used on the turntable. When I get it next to a P10 I will do a video.

I’ve owned the P10, it does look virtually identical..

@ it’s crazy, they look identical yet the materials are so different having handled both.

@@RigVader if you want a fun journey go P8/ND7, then upgrade to a MC after a while. An Apheta 3 would be a worthy upgrade after that. You can always skip the ND7 and go Apheta 3 if you are ready to experience it all.

@@zloinaopako I hear ya. I don’t try and over sell with huge statements and grandiose volume. A moderate tone and no image still with a caption saying “UNBOXING WORLDS BEST TURNTABLE!!! DO I DIE????” is how I roll 🤓

@@Kukkema it’s an additional cost, the kit came with the adaptor. It would be interesting to see how a P6 subplatter sounded and performed.

@ 👍🏼 absolutely. Are you going to check out the planar 3 rs?

@ Yes at some point. It’s a cool table.

@ definitely

@@kalenderquantentunnel9411 it’s a great table. It has since sold. I grew up with the LP12 being the reference table. Now with the P10 and NAIA it has some competition but is also still a super turntable.

@@23FalseProphet yeah it’s a process each time. But I will say it’s more nerve racking when mounting the aphelion 2 😅

@@obstoaga8121 thanks! I am trying my best to organically build a customer base. It’s been a fun journey. My goal is to build people’s trust and show my knowledge and enthusiasm for running a music centered hifi shop.

@@johnlindsay3820 it is why I sell Rega, their whole line is made in designed and made in England. I do my best to only carry equipment that is designed and made in a single origin. Yes components come from all over, but I like it when companies support local economies as much as possible.

Don't say that. I come from Germany and all my hi-fi components, except a phono preamp, come from Great Britain. Best regards

ALL my audio gear is made from country of origin, Italy, England, USA etc.. would not have it any other way.

@@joer4682 thank you so much!

It's going well. I can't wait to make more content about the NAIA as I put it through it's paces. The Nd7 is sounding great BTW.

Nice table. Nice unboxing. Felt mat appears to be pinched, a shame at this price level. Does this come with Rega standard top only cover?

@ it comes with the standard cover. The felt was pinched. As a dealer I would have replaced that for the customer right away. It is indeed something that shouldn’t happen at that price label.

@@amarichalprego great question. The answer is likely yes but a small step up. I would recommend an Aria for a wow factor step up. I have a huge respect for the Fono MM and Fono MC, the Aria is just next level. You can also sometimes find used Aria’s or demo Aria’s online, so keep a look out for those.

@@joeyshifishop thank you for your reply! Keep saving $ for an Aria

@@franck-s7w ND7, though I always recommend hearing for your own to decide. I think the ND7 is much better having heard both.

@@sonicplayroompiano4302 great question. I would say it sounds different than the Exact and in my opinion both have good merits. What the exact does so well in my opinion is have a wholeness to its tone and presentation that really exudes the PRAT of the cartridge. I would say the Nd5 has these attributes as well but they just sound different. If you could compare them that would be great. I think you would be happy with either cartridge. Sorry I couldn’t give a solid answer towards one or the other. The Nd7 is for sure superior to both but costs more than both.

@joeyshifishop thank you for your reply. Do you think the nd7 would be overkill for my RP3 which also has the upgraded tango spinner subplatter? If you were to use a word or two to compare the nd5 and exact cartridges would you say one sounds brighter/darker than the other for e.g.? Thanks again

@ the Nd7 would be wonderful on your setup. The Nd5 has a bit more high end than the exact.

@@mutsureibo5615 I have not, but I have some $6,999 ATC 40’s here at the house, I will hook them up and do a comparison and video about it.

@@joeyshifishop Thanks! I really want to know how the Aya cope with big orchestral works, symphonies and the like. Be interesting to hear your views and the ATC 40 contrast.

@ I will work on it!
