Yep, what you said. I bought a new P6 a month ago and absolutely love it. Power the P6 with a Marantz 6015 and because lack of space means small speakers. I went for a Klipsch reference cinema. The P6 sounds exactly as you described it. Friends have described it like sitting directly in front of a live band. Very pleased and your review back it up.

Enjoyable video. Today I ordered a P3 with Exact cartridge. I really didn't want to spend even more money on a P6 even though the prices are a good deal less here in the UK. It is so easy to get drawn into buying the next one up when watching nice videos like yours! I have to draw a line somewhere however tempting it is to change the order!!

After watching your excellent review on the p6 with exact cartridge it confirmed to me just how good my set up is that consists of a p6/exact 2 And ive recently purchased the Hexmat eclipse platter mat (expensive but worth 👌 every penny) bringing out more detail and clarity due to it floating off the platter reducing further resonance. Combined with my rega auria phono roksan blak amplifier and fyne audio 500sp speakers I am more than happy . I thank you for all your video reviews you are extremely articulate and know your kraft in the way you present your reviews. I look forward to many more in the future.

This is a truly excellent review Rohit, one that I had been waiting for. I felt that your review of the P3 was very good but then you jumped to the P8. This left me wondering if the P6 had anything worthwhile to offer. For me the best part was when you compared an upgraded P3 with Ania moving coil to a stock P6 with Exact moving magnet cartridge - that the P6/Exact even surpassed the performance of the upgraded P3. This confirms the huge part that the plinth material of the turntable plays. This is the Rega philosophy - the plinth material affects the tonearm performance, and the tonearm limits the cartridge capability. Many people don’t know this and the they just rush to change the cartridge on the lower Rega models. I saw a KZitem video review that used an Ania moving coil cartridge on a P1;(or P2 I can’t recall which one of the two lowest models) and the reviewer commented on how flat and muddy the sound was. Your video review of the P6 validates the Rega philosophy. I also hope you can make another review of the P6 with other non-Rega cartridges to see if the P6 will be up to par.

Hey getting to this a bit late, sorry. I highly recommend upgrading table such as P3 +elys or P6+exact first to see sonic improvements. Yes, an MC cartridge will improve sonics too, but a better table and tonearm will ensure your cartridge is measuring the information in grooves the best it can. What cartridge where you using on the P25?

Using a new Dynavector 10x5 high output moving coil. Really liking the sound. My Rega 25 was a special anniversary model that had upgraded tone arm and cables. For now content with this setup but next upgrade will be the P6 and reinstalled Dynavector and then speakers (currently Totem Staff). Spinning a new Jack Johnson ‘Meet the Moonlight’ nice recording and easy to listen to. Cheers and Thanks for your great reviews!

Very good review. I have owned this Turntable since around May 2020, ANIA PRO and a Jasmine 2.5 phono amp and a swagman Electronic motor (upgraded from P3-24 with Nagaoka 100) Apart from a good tonal balance the main asset for me was the increase in details and separation. Sounds I never knew existed are now glaring out. I subsequently upgraded the tonearm to a R3000 however this has made no difference to the sound, likely a bottleneck somewhere... Highly recommended as the stock standard version however I would definitely go for the ANIA PRO, otherwise with any lower cart - the model 8 version would be a better purchase.

Thank you for this excellent review! I wonder if you have any opinions on how this P6 compares to the Pioneer Plx-1000 you reviewed earlier (another stellar review)? I've had a lower grade Rega for a while myself but have been quite frustrated with it's transient related fluttering, like louder piano notes just sounding out of tune really. This I'm assuming is coming from the platter slowing down due to the force of the needle on the record. This has led me to consider whether to move up in the Rega hierarchy or maybe try a direct drive such as the Pioneer instead...
@analogholic_reviews

I honestly believe IMHO that the P6 is miles ahead of the PLX1000. Pianos sound like the real thing on a P6. The PLX 1000 is sweet table dont get me wrong, but P6 + Exact excels in tonal realism as compared to the Pioneer.

Really enjoy your reviews and share your tastes in music and sound. Thank you for any thoughts or opinions you’d care to share.

Long term I've come to prefer the Rega's presentation that conveys the immediacy and intimacy in the recordings over similarly priced VPI. If going used, I would recommend a well looked after and tuned LP12 with Itokk tonearm and a good MC as well. But if you want a set it and forget it table, IMHO it's a P6 with a nice MC.

@analogholic_reviews
Жыл бұрын
I hope someone who has heard both with the exact and PSU can chime in here. While I have not heard the P3 with exact, I personally think that the unique to P6 engineering further mass optimizes and stiffens the table and bring about a not-so-subtle sonic improvement. Like the tancast plinth, different float glass, aluminum sub-platter, larger aluminum precision machined collar that couples the motor to plinth (contributes to increased stiffness), different method of coupling the brace to the tonearm and bearing like the higher P8, etc. Makes for a noticeably quieter noise floor. I found out after making the video that the P6 brought out more magic from my Koetsu Black than the P3 with PSU could. That being said, the P3/Koetsu combo was very satisfying as well. For the less obsessive of us, the P3 will just do. Time to simply enjoy some tunes!

Good review But I think in order to compare Rega p6 to the thorens td309 (body to body) you must use the same arm and the same cartridge (preferred as new), otherwise the comparison is useless (to much variables that can influence the total sound. If you compare price to price (same) and what you get for the given price as a package that's ok.
