3k budget for Turntable and Phono Noob- do I need external power supplies?


Good Day All,

Trying to put together a vinyl rig for the first time, the local shops all have Rega and Project so will likely land there however open to suggestions

Is it worth adding a $500 Sbooster or IFI Elite to either the TT or phono or both?

or should I up budget to 4k without them?

I was thinking either Rega P3 Special edition with their Aria phono or Project X1B with their balanced phono

thanks in advance

the Rega P3 SE has the new Nd5 cartridge. Very smooth. But Pro-ject is solid too, enoy! 

Music Hall turntables are rarely mentioned by Agoners, wonder if any good for the money

I had Music Hall, it sounded ok but the few things that could break did break on it within a year
