Rega Elex-R, anyone?

I just dropped some coin on an Elex-R and a pair of RX3s in cherry, sight unseen and should be arriving in a week or so. Will post comments. Now if someone can clue me in as to how to post pictures I'll include some.

 

Please do! I'm working on a system upgrade now and am considering an all Rega set up. I also purchased an Elex R this month, but it sadly sits in a box in the basement, waiting for the rest of the components, which I am saving for. I would like the RX3 also but they are pushing past my budget. The local dealer has RS3 in stock, so those may be an option. Have not ruled out Rx1 either, but I have no stands, so that has to be factored into the overall price.

 

I have a source to speakers Rega system and have been very happy with it.

 

this thread has a great explanation for posting pics: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/can-someone-please-explain-how-to-upload-images.643380/

Hope you like the Rega.

 

Thanks!

 

I almost purchased an Elex-R but decided on the Creek Evolution 50A instead. The main factor was price as the Creek was $500 cheaper. Also the Creek seemed to get good reviews across the board. I kind of wish I had had a chance to audition the Rega though and it would have been nice to do a direct comparison with the Creek before I bought.

 

Don't think I'll be uploading photos, these hosting sites make me too nervous!

 

nervous about what?

 

What does it consist of?

 

I wouldn't discount the RS3s. I've read glowing reviews and forum posts about them and recently in the December Hi-Fi Choice I read a vary favorable review of the RX1 and either of these I believe are going to make great synergy with the Elex-R. I wish you well with your endeavor. I hope your amp as with mine will be a solid basis for a new and awesome sounding system.

 

As far as Pinterest is concerned I'm more interested in posting my own photos rather than using someone else's and Photobucket appears to include fees and its not something I want to have to pay for. Its unfortunate that I can't upload directly from my computer like I can on another site.

I have a pair of RS3 and they sound great with my Brio R. If you can find a set I would recommend them with Rega amplification.

 

I use Photo Bucket and have never payed a thing.

 

I use Shutterfly and Imgur for pic hosting sites. Imgur is so easy with the iphone and pics aren't published on the web unless I designate it so. I use shutterfly if pics are from camera and none of my pics there are publicly on the internet unless I post them here. No fees with either site, but I do get a lot of junk mail from shutterfly.

 

Just checked your profile. There is a set of RS3 still available locally, so they are on my list. I'm also considering the Rega Ear. How do you find that?

 

I think I'll explore this issue of hosting sites a little more thoroughly.

 

Photobucket really stinks! Its extremely slow and sometimes it simply just stops working but here are some photos of my almost all Rega system as it is currently. Can you see the pictures ok?

 

The "Ear" has very high gain. I use mine with Beyerdynamic 880 600 Ohm. Sounds great but too much juice for most phones. Popular with the Sennhiser 600 users on headfi.com...

Insist on a demo for those RS3. I really like mine.

 

Rega system. Excuse the boxes, we are getting ready to move out of state.

 

Nice set up! A demo is not a problem. I will be using a set of Grado 325e headphones that I just picked up. Hopefully they will work if I get the Ear.

 

Great looking set up. An eventual turntable upgrade is also planned. I thinking either Planar 3 or maybe Planar 6 when it comes out.

 

The "Ear" sounds great with my Grados but has very limited range of motion for the volume control. Ie: 9 "o'clock" is LOUD!. Perhaps look to the Grado amp or Schiit...

 

Vinyl headphone configuration. Rega RP6, Fono MM, Ear and Beyerdynamic 880.

 

Love the My Little Pony

 

I'm not obligated to get the Ear and am open to other suggestions.
