I was about to pull the trigger on a new Rega P3 with Elys 2 cart, but then started second guessing and looking at a MoFi StudioDeck with Studiotracker cart. I know the Elys 2 doesn’t get a whole lot of love, but haven’t seen a whole lot on the Studiotracker. Pricewise Elys 2 is $300 and the Studiotracker is $200, so I guess the difference in TT price is closer to $300.

I like the classic look of the Rega with its concealed drive belt and glass platter, but not sure how much I love the pre-attached RCA cables. I don’t know why I don’t like that as those cables are likely better than what I would buy anyway, but it does, lol.  The look of the MoFi has really grown on me though, but I don’t like the style of the motor mount and exposed belt that looks similar to a U-Turn. It seems very solidly built from a fit and finish standpoint. Its 10” tonearm seems like a good selling point, but the Rega RB330 seems to get great reviews.

All things considered is the MoFi a $200 better turn table and worth the upgrade, or should I just stick with my initial thought of getting the Rega?

Is a MoFi StudioDeck worth a $200 premium over Rega P3?

 The electrical hum is awful as the tonearm traverses the record and nears the center spindle (closer to the motor). Rega’s USA distributor replaced it under warranty, assuring me this hum is not normal. The replacement does exactly the same thing. I then purchased a Nagaoka MP-150 costing about the same price here on Amazon and it BLOWS THE ELYS2 AWAY! The fidelity and bass is amazing and there’s no hum

Not great and overpriced for the performance it provides the listener. I have this cartridge that came preinstalled on my Rega Planar 3 turntable.

Buyer Beware- there are better alternatives

<div class="md"><p>Does anyone know what cartridge this is? As you can see it&#39;s on the rega planar 3 but I&#39;ve damaged the stylus so I&#39;m looking for a replacement. I just wanted to know what quality cartridge I&#39;ve already got because it always sounded fine to me. Any suggestions for a decent replacement would be appreciated. Was thinking Elys 2, AT VM95, Bias or Carbon?</p>

Cartridge help?

Entry level cartridge, depends on your setup: table, amp, phono stage, and speakers. If you got an entry level setup, Elys2 is good for you. If you are expecting an audiophile experience this cartridge will not provide that.

Elys2 is good for you

Not worth the price

This overpriced cartridge, like most things Rega, is absolutely mediocre and a huge rip-off. The cartridge is tuned so poorly and is such an obvious way that there actually is a consensus about it. It simply sounds dark. Read the "Press Reader Australian Hi-Fi Rega Planar 3 Review" (google it) and you will actually see measurements for this cartridge

Absolute rip-off.

My Elys came as the standard cartridge on my Planar 3. I do not understand the bad reviews this cartridge has received. I see no reason to upgrade and it just gets better and better as it breaks in. It has the right combination of neutrality, warmth, and musicality

Vastly Underrated Cartridge

 The let the Elys get through the second band tracking test - just, but it killed the sound to my ears. I tried the Rega, Bayerwald and Stevenson alignment protractors as well as just having the cart positioned using the third mounting bolt.  Also worthy of note: Output is on the high side. Might be worth checking that your phono stage can handle it

  Pro: Nice sound, good top end, though not particularly refined, bass is tight with a pleasing whump good separation between instruments on a decently broad sound stage. All in all, a sound I could happily have lived with had it not been for the sibilance. Record noise is present, but not overly intrusive.  Con: Mostly tracking

I purchased this as a safe option to fit an RB300 arm thinking it would be a natural fit. It did and it didn't.  Pro: Nice sound, good top end, though not particularly refined, bass is tight with a pleasing whump good separation between instruments on a decently broad sound stage. All in all, a sound I could happily have lived with had it not been for the sibilance

Mixed bag - Tracking not so good IMO

 When adjusted correctly to 1.75g, the sound improved notably, as did the quietness of the tracking, so I would consider it an important check to make.  Overall this is a great value MM cartridge that is an excellent introduction to the detail and musicality that can be extracted from a vinyl record. It is a great basic cartridge for the Planar 3 and a very worthwhile upgrade for the 1 and 2

  The Rega Elys 2 is a doddle to fit on the Rega arm, owing to a 3-point fixing, so no real alignment skills are needed. It sounded a bit fuzzy straight off but actually started to run-in well after only 4 hours or so of use. On most records it tracks with low surface noise and provides a punchy, enjoyable listen. If you were to compare it directly with a higher end moving coil cartridge, it would of course sound less refined and more compressed, but it sounds really good, even through more expensive hifi components, which suggests it is delivering one heck of a performance for the price

In fact, had I opted for one of the lower Rega decks (Planar 1 or 2) I would have binned the original Carbon cartridge that comes with those and got an Elys instead. The modest cost gives a much better stylus profile and a significantly higher performance

Great value introduction to hearing vinyl properly.

 The Elys 2 is definitely an improvement. It initially didn’t impress me, but after a few hours of playing stuff I now prefer it. It is a more complete package than the old Bias was, in other words, the Bias seemed to be more about bass than anything else, this adds more of everything, apart from the bass. If anything, I would say that the Elys isn’t quite as bassy as the Bias was, but overall better

Overall, a good cartridge, and definitely better than the Bias

Great sound. A worthwhile upgrade over the Bias cartridge.
