• I’ve had a Rega RP1 for getting on 5+ years now and figure it’s probably due a new stylus, so just wondering whether it’s worth replacing like for like or considering an upgrade?

    Back in the day I think the RP1 used to come with an Ortofon, would a Red or similar give me more than the stock Rega cartridge? On threads comparing them, I saw that LP Gear in the US do a stylus upgrade for the AT version of the carbon: https://www.lpgear.com/product/LPGCFN3600LE.html - anyone had any experience of that or faced a similar dilemma?

  • Bear in mind that regas don't have height adjustment for the arm, so you'll want a cartridge that's a similar height.
    I really like the audio technica at vm95 range. ML or E.
    Not sure if they're the right height for regas though.
