I have a couple old Thorens. But years go, I got sick of my turntable turntable turntable turntable turntable…
Only complaint with Rega tables is the low brow cartridge tags used so decided to tackle installation of these nice rhodium Cardas terminals. Not much money but oh so delicate surgery. Fortunately the patient survived the procedure and really looks properly connected now.

Whassup with the dual wires?
Just wire loops, but they do looked doubled. My bad photo.
Check out the milled box and custom 0.4 N-m torque wrench supplied with Rega’s top cart. Pretty swell.
Whew! (wipes sweat off brow). Was worried I was missing out on a new opportunity to buy new wires

no excuse ever needed for buying more wires, and plugs and sockets, can’t get enough of plugs and sockets!
(This is probably deeply Freudian stuff…)

Any difference in sound with the low brow tags removed?
I have a turntable but don’t remember what kind and haven’t used it since the mid ‘90’s. Does that count?

Is it girth, length or both that matters?
The replacement of the cart tags was more a reliability concern not so much SQ. Very little time since the swap so can’t say. Probably more confident this connection will be more solid over time so at least a bit of perceived SQ improvement since I don’t have to worry about this potential issue anymore!
Neither, it’s the purity and quality of the conductors that matters most.
I just try these Red Orea’s under my turntable and the improvement in sound made me sit up and take notice. Considerably more solid sounding. The advertisement card that came with the Orea shows it can be under a turntable.
Gawd…wish I knew. Suspect it is more about other stuff.
I must admit I don’t understand this.
Rega have spent decades on all aspects of the design of their turntables, so why do people think that the feet have been ignored, especially on the top of the range model?
Moreover, why do people think that an aftermarket product not designed specifically for the RP10 is going to be better?
There is a snippet here about 3 minutes in of Roy Gandy explaining the care taken in designing the very boring looking black part of the foot, he discusses the internal ribbing that you cannot see from the outside. There is another video somewhere explaining the whole foot, which for this model alone they spent over a year working on the foot.
The general rule is that Rega’s should not be fiddled with, unless it is a Rega motor upgrade to the cheaper decks.
Just about to buy my son a P3/Elys2 + wall-mount, only decision is the colour.
