RE: New turntable decision

I have a lot of experience with the elements of your system.

Here's my advice:

* Stick with the Rega. I have a VPI and it will sound too neutral and boring. I just got a new Planar 3 and the synergy is excellent with the P3's. I use a Naim Nait XS. The Harbeths benefit from a lot of "kick" and control in the bass, which is what Rega gives you.

* I find the Harbeths sound better with the SS Naim than with the tubes.
They need a lot of grip on the bass.

What is your cartridge? That's extremely important. I tried several and am now using a Goldring 1042, which sounds great with the Planar 3
