it's yet another modded rega but looks interesting although if the mass has been reduced it may not suit the low compliance dj type carts.....check before purchase.
£600 plus is a lot of money....

Greg - yep, fitted it myself, very easy to do, as Mk7 mentioned, the trick is remembering which screws go where. Nothing more taxing then that. As mine is an older Technics I didn't need to cut any of the rubber mat. Only other tricky bit was earthing the tone arm inside. Then getting the carts on which is always tricky to align, but I'm no expert, took 30 minutes or so.
Darryl - cheers mate. Yes the AT's were not cheap, I guess they're dead-stock now. Just need to run them in now
May give this a go myself when time/funds allow - i.e. no time soon.
I've got a bog-standard RB300 on my Michell Gyrodeck so the plan might be to swap that for a new arm and put the Rega on one of my Technics (maybe giving it the usual mods first)...

Please remind me what the story with these were again. Have they completely stopped making carts, or is it just certain models that have been discontinued?
Marius - AT are still making carts and styli. They have however stopped making the ATP-2XN. Which is a moving coil DJ friendly cart, which as Darryl mentioned got a lot of admirers on web forums like here and Wave Music.
Mine is bedded in now after 3/4 weeks of play and is sounding great. In fact it's making my other deck, which has a standard Technics arm and an Ortofon Niteclub E cart, sound a little dull.

Just to be pedantic, the ATP-2XN is a moving magnet cart, not a moving coil.
Definitely a great cart, though. Very strange that they discontinued it, given what a positive reaction it was getting.

Of course, I didn't want to be shelling out for a pre-amp as well Cheers Mr H
