Most P10’s are sold with a Aphelion 2 cart ($4995) and Aura MC phonostage ($5995) bringing it in line with the NAIM. It’s with the P8 you see a Aria Mk3 phono and Apheta 3. P10 is a great table no doubt and having the ability to select different carts and Phonostages is a real bonus. Also having options like the P8 helps too. And, the Rega’s aren’t limited in numbers, so no need to worry you can’t get one (other than typical supply chain issues).
The NAIM table is for an all out best of NAIM system. Different approach. Given that Michael Fremer called the NAIM phonostage “among a handful of the best phono preamps I've ever heard", I’m curious how this new one sounds. NAIM brought out of retirement, their lead technical director and chief designer, Roy George for the Solstice product. Very excited to hear this analog system.
