I upgraded from an RT85 to a slightly used Rega P3 and and a Moon lp 110 v2 phono stage a year ago. I had no itch to change these two (but everything else).
Going to replace my Fluance rt85
In the next few months, I would like to replace my Fluance rt85 turntable with something better. My budget is under 2k. I use a Ifi Zen phono stage into my Lab12 Integre 4 Integrated into my KLH Model 5 speakers. I have a Ortofon Blue Cart on the turntable now. New or used is fine. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

The P3 can take the OP far, especially with a wall mount and eventually various upgraded bits. i have heard at some length a P3 with a Dynavector arm / Signet TK-9…. certainly sweet sound. @ghdprentice that very Setup came from Echo - good dudes w opportunities for cool gear anew each day….

After the early upgrades, I decided that 1/3 TT, 1//3 phono stage, 1/3 cart is the ratio I like. All three equal, that way I don't feel any one part is a bottleneck, and each is working to get the most out of the other. I'm still working on the cart part, but at least I know I'm getting the most out of the cart I got.

Consider VPI Scouts as well. I myself got the Scout 1 used from the original in owner and was well cared for… I feel the JMW 9” tonearm and the table is quite good and is within your price range. Also VPI customer support is very good and made in the USA. If you hunt well you might even have $$ left over for an MC.Cart. |
