I really enjoy the Rega, first of all I bought a technics and I hated it, it was between a Rega or Project after that and I am happy with what I got. Sonos is good, used to be amazing, I think its been left behind a bit compared to some other multi room companies I read about, but it works and my speakers around have been long lasting, some of mine in the house are well over a decade old and still going strong. I always thought Dolby Atmos was a gimmick, but not with these Era 300 speakers, sound superb.

One of those Hi-Fi music machines from 30`s. Sometimes I take it off the shelf and the magic of mechanism begins. The kid and the neighbors are delighted (it's very loud) 
This is a Soviet portable gramophone from 1937. It has been fully restored, calibrated, and is in excellent working order. I have a collection of records from the 1930s (not vinyl, but shellac records). I prefer tango and foxtrot. In the video, a fragment of the 1940 composition " Tango of Nightingale (Tango Solovjja) " is an artistic whistle (Caution!!! listen at low volume, especially if you have headphones; many high notes are whistling).
Obviously, we're not talking about sound quality, volume, or other audio characteristics here—we're talking about emotion. This turntable is truly astonishing, especially when you discover it requires no batteries, power, or cables, just a simple crank and 33 turns to charge the mechanism's spring.
And this is a modern, digital version of this tango.

I’ve had 3 Rega t/tables. This P3 is the current one and probably the last.

Impressive! Great kit. I’ve seen reviews of the open back HEDD headphones as well that are supposed to be amazing. I’ve got an unhealthy obsession with headphones.
Current system which is PC based, I don't have the luxury of a listening room so the office has to make do... Still, sounds mighty fine to my ears.
Homemade PC > Topping D90 > HEDD Type 05 > MJ Acoustics Pro50 Mk3.
Just thinking about some ISO Acoustics Aperta stands now.

Nothing wrong with that, they are definitely on my to-try list!
Yeah, HEDD is a recent discovery for me, I was aware of their founders previous project 'ADAM' which apparently had liquidity issues and got sold to investors, Mr Klaus Heinz went on to team up with his son and found HEDD.
The AMT tweeters are sublime, I can only imagine how good the cans are... Don't know if you've ever heard electrostatic diaphragms? Very similar to that, just sounds so high resolution and uncompressed compared to conventional domes.
My problem is that in order to used wired cans I'll need a headphone amp then... Hmm best get saving.
