They sold a lot of them so something must be right. It is so subjective, everyone has different preferences so there is no right or wrong answer.
I think with any TT, its a learning curve (or find a friendly expert) on setting them up properly to get the most out of them. Of course different cartridges for different people.
I lean towards vintage idler drives....

If this is all totally new to you, consider staying with the R1, get used to setting up the arm and cartridge, change the feet, change where you put it and what you put it on etc and see what works best for you. When you think you are getting maximum performance, buy a "better" cartridge.
While you are doing the above, listen to other's TT's and work out what you like or do not like.
Then think about changing the TT.

I put my R3 motor and glass platter into a wood block and was pleased with the result, i ended up with a Grace 707 arm and Clearaudio MM cartridge. Worked for me!

I had a feeling that the RP1 would be one of the first to go. Just didn't post here so as not to give you ideas. But looks like you didn't need anyone to influence you. Hahaha.

rtsyrtsy wrote:One question I think you should have a definitive answer to is whether you still really need a CD player.

The alternative to a CD player is using a streamer-DAC set-up. If you have a spare / old computer lying around, that can potentially take care of the streaming side. This is not without its hassles. For one, you need to rip all your CD's properly which can be a tedious process. Further, you'd need to tinker around with your computer to optimize it for audio streaming / rendering--this can be part of the fun for tinkering types but can be very frustrating for those with computer-phobia.

In my humble opinion, the advantages of a streamer-DAC set-up outweigh that of a traditional spinning disc set-up. First, having a computer as a source opens up the use of new services like Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, etc. Second, you may fancy getting into high resolution downloaded music. Third, to my ears, in my system, in my room (or headphones), properly ripped CDs sound better than spinning CDs.

Hope this helps and good luck!


Thank you for the input sir @ rtsyrtsy, I will be considering Hooking up a laptop/computer to my Integrated amp (Nad 375) actually ang CD player po ay pag Lashing mode (a little drunk) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Adding a laptop? Which DAC will you use?
