Original owner. Mostly on static display, never loaned out. I put about 50 hours on the Ania cartridge to break it in and then maybe another 50 - 75 hours for in store customer demos. It was purchased from the US distributor a year ago.This new Planar 8 / Ania combination is in every way superior to the older P8 / Apheta (see attached review). A bargain at full retail. I always take Rega's factory cartridge installation a little further. I double check torque on the cartridge bolts (yes, proper torque will slightly improve sound quality). There is a little play in the three bolt cartridge system Rega uses and i use a highly accurate alignment protractor to optimize those parameters given that play. I disconnect the cartridge clips and clean the contacts. Rega recommends setting the anti-skating to the same value at VTF. That's incorrect. I properly set anti-skating using the correct method. You will receive the table with the correct anti-skating set for a VTF of 1.75 grams. You'll receive what appears to be a new, well set up Rega turntable in the original factory packaging and double boxed. Price is firm. No trades. Free shipping. PayPal adds 3%. Thank you.
