I am replacing my 1980s model having at last sorted out some storage place for my record collection. I plan to use it with my original amp, lovely 1950s speakers, but the analogue tuner and tape player will go!


Meant to go to Richer sounds yesterday and may still pop in tomorrow.


Any advice? Not sure why I would want a USB model (amp just takes raw wire input). What else has changed in the last three decades?


Plan up to a couple of hundred, I understand that this is nowhere near top of the range, but I doubt whether my record collection is in great condition!

I hadn't followed this thread in recent posts, but was about to conclude that I had bought a British made Rega from Billy Vee Sound Systems in Lee. Found details in part by accident on line, should have just read the above recommendation,


Anyway brilliant, enjoying my old vinyl again. Thanks all.


And now gone up one further on this thread to find Billy Vee. Serendipity!

good choice on the rega.. you'll have no regrets there.. as an upgrade you might want to buy a white belt for it as it does make a noticeable difference

Bottom of the range RP1

Playing with a 1982 amp, 1950s speakers, 1997 CD player and 2016 turntable. Still sounds good though.

I binned by 1985 tape deck and my 1970s tuner. No valves sadly....


Nice to go to a specialist and talk it through. Richer Sounds were OK but not as helpful

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
