REGA RP3 - NAD3020 - MA BRONZE 2

[upalmeira]

Hey! I need your help if someone could give me his advice...

I’m new in vinyl and I bought REGA RP3 / NAD 3020+DAC DIGITAL / MA BRONZE 2

I went for this specific equipment’s because, well REGA you all know it’s one of the best and NAD3020 because at the same time I love to listen to my vinyl collection (jazz / blues) I wanted a system that I could have some technology without spending a lot of money (Bluetooth for iPhone, etc...)

Now I feel like I spent money and the final quality that I wanted I can’t have it. Well the NAD connected to the Bronze 2 in Bluetooth or other equipment, it feels awesome but when I connect the REGA to the NAD the quality of the sound is not what I expected.

May somebody give me some advice regarding witch type of upgrade should I do in order to obtain the quality sound the REGA deserves?

Thank you for your help guys!!

Regards,

Rui

Its not the NAD amp or MA speakers that are holding you back, it is your insistence on vinyl. Make sure the record player is setup correctly, for starters. Make sure the records are in good condition. Make sure the speaker placement is optimal, like so. Make sure you are giving the speakers some stand-off distance from the side and back walls. make sure your listening position isn not in a crappy location. Vinyl is not a very high fidelity medium, so your setup will only ever sound so good.

Um, that NAD D 3020 has analog inputs, but not a phono pre. Does the Rega have a built in phono pre?

Do you have a PHONO pre-amp? Either outboard, or built into your Turntable?

Like ski2 said--You NEED a phono pre-amp in there somewhere, otherwise it will sound very low volume and very bad indeed!
