This one is stock from 1982, I remember having it Lingo'd and maybe Trampolin'd too at some point but I liked it better as it was so I had it reversed. At the time I only listened to rock and the slightly goosed pitch of the LP12 was very enjoyable.

Hi John
This forum probably has the highest number of TechDAS owners in the world. East Coast, West Coast, Europe, Asia. If you plan to make any visits let us know. All in all we are an obliging bunch Love the look of the "nude" Triangle Arts by the way. Lucky you to have snagged the prototype. That's a keeper for sure!
I don't think you can listen to any serious music on a Rega. Never understood their allure, they always sound thin and harsh but I guess it's a good balance with dead, compressed rock recordings. As far as the goosed pitch goes I'm convinced that it's a must with those records.Interesting that you bring up the goosed pitch on the Linn, I heard a $1.5k Rega that must have been built within the last few years and it exhibited the same thing. Now that you mention it I don't see many acoustic music fans of Rega turntables on other forums. Mostly rock music listeners.
Has the OP checked with Peter B and Jonathan Valin?
Gentlemen, I really appreciate the replies. From what I have gathered, Lyra is the recommended cartridge. However, in my experiences, I have always found the Lyra analytical sounding. Is there another option?
