I was not familiar with this brand and this product:
Might have to add this to the list of future improvementsā¦
Itās just the perfect size for me and the missus, but big enough to two of your stereotypical audiophiles when theyāre here for a meet? Mmm, Iām not so sure!

The new chair doesnāt ruin the sonics of my sound room! 
What a load off my mind. Thank goodness I was able to return that fabric covered LaZBoy when Iād tried it. That thing was a sonic black hole!

My Revox A77 arrived today. No take up reel or Reel hubs came with but a quick visit to ebay solved that. More waiting though.

Donno if this is an upgrade or not, but learning a lot after finally getting a table with adjustable VTA. My now sold Rega sucked in comparisonā¦
Rega turntables can be fine for their no fuss no muss approach. Basically set it and forget it. Of course one needs to like their phono cartridges for the Rega āno fussā approach to work. Otherwise they can be, how shall I say it, rather limiting.

Ortofon have ālow profileā cartridges, specifically for Rega arms. They allow VTA to be adjusted with shims between the headshell and cartridge.

This shim system is a non starter IMO, itās just too much work and too crude for something that need patience and precision. Only bought the Orto afte the new table. 2k Rega cartridge really shines now with the new table. Didnāt know what I was missing before!

āRather limitingā, totally agree! Downside of the set and forget is for noobs like me, it can paint a wrong picture what a good vinly should sound like.
I thought the almost top of line Rega cart would be the end all and be all, but now I realize that Regaās VTA system is probably their achilles heel. only took me 15 years to realize that. That also shine a bad light on Regaās approach. There is no obvious ways to grow out of an entry level Rega if you donāt know better.

I shimmed under the Tonearm mount on my RP-10. Not much of a problem. Itās a fine turntable!

Iām sure it is! Given itās setup by pros or someone that knows what they are doing.
You canāt really do half a shim or 1/3 of a shim I found with the 2m Black, a teeny tiny change in the VTA changes the sibliance/highs in significant ways, ranges from meh to magicā¦
Plus I canāt even try a 2M black on anything rega short of using 3+ shims, thatās just silly in my book.
I had a TT that had VTA adjustment on the fly. It was supposed to be beneficial for different record thicknesses. It was really easy. I tried it a couple times. Then never again.
