The Rega MM Phono MK5 was purchased as an upgrade to my 15 year old Project phono preamp unit. While the Project unit supported MM and MC, this Rega unit is like comparing chalk and cheese.

Absolutely stunning, with no need to crank the volume on softer recordings anymore, plus the amazing benefit of more clarity. No doubt about it, the higher voltage and individual channel filters in this unit really do bring out the best in your phono signal. Initially I was skeptical and read a few reviews that raved about the unit. Well there not lying. Rega have created a winner here and I've no intention of upgrading any further than higher end MM stylus cartridges. I'd seriously doubt there would be any more benefit to be obtained. Even my old Project Phono unit was pretty good and still works but the difference between the 2 was so striking, I'm glad I upgraded. The old unit will be fine for a spare in case, but Rega all the way for me now.

This was my first experience with AudioTrends and I'll certainly put it out there that there a good company with excellent pricing and some nice specialised high end audio and that's worth supporting. While there delivery service is a touch slower than a rival competitor like Addictedtoaudio for example, they do get there and keep you updated onto the exact status which was accurate and correct. Everyone must understand that smaller specialist companies like Audio Trends etc can not operate with the same speed as a giant like Amazon but there not that far off and if they can keep on delivering great products(that are actually genuinely in stock and ready to ship) then I for one will be returning for future purchases and look forward to being a continuing customer.
