Rega RP6 / Rega Exact and Trichord Dino install

Another very satisfying install yesterday, customer upgrading from a Project Carbon / 2M with a Project Phonobox USB to Rega RP6 / Exact and the recently vastly reworked Trichord Dino Mk3. All connected up to his active AVI speakers which were on Kudos speaker stands (filled with the obligatory cat litter)

This install emphasises the degree that running in and warming up of components can effect the sound. Initially the sound was quite blurred and the top end almost entirely absent. It took us by surprise a bit, even to the extent that we rechecked some of the settings on the Dino .. but all was correct. Halfway through the second track things started to snap into focus, the slightly lumpy bass started to even out allowing the vocals to clear up. We then removed some of the customers isolation from under the Rega (which had worked under the Project) this cleared things up even more and brought more of a sparkle to the treble. By the end of the afternoon the whole set up was sounding amazing.... but still improving!. The AVI speakers are very revealing, so exaggerated the effect, but this is no bad thing, it means they will never stand in the way when things are improved further at the front end.

We've found that generally, the better the equipment, the more time it needs to run in
