Having previously owned a Rega Planar 2 and the Planar 3 I was considering an upgrade to the Rega P8. The detail from the P8 is fantastic and the treble, bass and mid-range are very well balanced. The build quality is superb and the setup out of the box is very straightforward. I listened to the P8 against the Linn Majik LP12 and to my ears the P8 had the edge although, of course, the Linn is an excellent turntable as well. I went for the Apheta 2 MC cartridge, plus the Rega Neo PSU both of which are an enhancement to the P8 and the rest of my Naim based system. Audiobarn gave a very good, highly professional service and Jack also gave me a very fair trade in price for my previous Rega Planar 3 and Fono MM stage.

I purchased this turntable as an alternative to a Linn Sondek. For me the sound was far more detailed and accurate than the Linn with more convincing bass. I also was impressed by the engineering quality and the ease of setup out of the box, it is not subject to the vagaries of having to be built by a Linn qualified technician after delivery and requires no subsequent servicing. I opted for the Alpheta 2 MC cartridge and added the matching phono amplifier. Both sound superb on my Naim system. Jack at Audiobarn provided a great service and gave me a very good trade in price against a pair of high end headphones, my old Rega turntable and a FlatCap external power supply that added very little to my Super Nait 2 amplifier.
