I am looking for a TT, can someone give me their thoughts on these choices, or if you know of a better way for $2,000.00 (Inc. Cart. and Tone Arm) or less.
Thanks. |

Well, I certainly wouldn't consider a P3. You're more into P5 or P7 at that price and the differences over a P3 are huge! Add a Dynavector 10x5 or 17D2 if you can muster it and you'll have a lovely deck.
As to the VPI and Project, those decks sound quite different to the Rega. The Rega stands out a bit as a speed and timing freak, the others being more 'round earth', aiming for ultimate tonality and soundstaging. It's a preference thing.
Another make you might like to consider is Michell who make the Tecnodec and Gyrodec (my preference). You can attach Rega arms or better to these decks very easily (you simply order the deck with the appropriate armboard) and Michell also modify Rega arms to supercharge the performance. You should be able to get a Tecnodec with Michell Tecnoarm (a modified RB600) for around $1500. Add a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge and you'd have a very nice front end there.
Regards,
Frank. |
