In Reply to: RE: The Rega Planar 8 is in your price range. posted by ghost of olddude55 on July 24, 2020 at 03:38:46
Are all the impressions with the stock cart or otherwise? Also how long are the RCAs?

I use an AT VM540ML in my Planar 6. IMO, this is the best cartridge I've ever used.
The cables are long enough to reach the phono stage which is on another shelf. They're low capacitance, too, at least according to Rega.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
The RCA's are probably one meter long and, certainly, not any shorter, but then you should note that they are near the tonearm end.
I had trouble with short RCA's on an original (old) planar and I will note that the new RCA's are longer.
I presume they typically audition the P8/RP8 with the Apheta II which I think is comparable to cartridges in the $2K range.
I have the RP8 and I'm very happy with it. I bought it used, but you wouldn't know by the condition as they hold up very well.
I listened to the P8 with both the Ania and Apheta. Former is 750$. Now they have a Ania Pro at around 1kUSD with better profiled stylus.
