I e-mailed Sound Organization (Rega's distributor) about the problems I have had with the adhesive pads. I was told I enjoyed my Planar 2 for a long time and it is time to move on. I mentioned that I think I will move on to a SOTA Satellite. The Satellite will allow me to use my Rega arm to begin with and then buy a different arm board and arm.

Of course he started the sales pitch of why I should stick with Rega. I explained that after buying the new motor and TTPSU I would enjoy my table for a number of years. Then he suggested I buy the P1 and performance pack. I hope he does not think I am keeping the Planar 2 due to being impoverished.

I am turntable shopping and Rega is not one of the choices.
