Rega RP10 or Nottingham Space 294 or VPI Prime

Over a course of 9 years I have owned a Rega P5, P7, & P9.  All models were very good tables.  I recently upgraded my P9 to a VPI Aries 3, but had considered the RP10 also.  I chose the VPI due to the ability to 'fine tune' the table plus I was interested in an outboard motor to keep motor noise to a minimum.  I got  a great trade-in price for my P9 and have not looked back.  The VPI is a well engineered table.

Of the three tables mentioned, IMO, the Prime would be the choice.  But as an alternative, don't forget the VPI Classic.  Some prefer the Classic arm over the 3D.

Just to complete the cycle, I would choose the Notts 294.

Let me know if you are interested in the VPI Prime.   I'm looking to upgrade to a Classic 4 with two tonearms and plan on selling my Prime I purchased in 2015.  Trying to decide whether to trade it in or sell it privately or on Audiogon.  If any interest, feel free to message me.  I would say the Prime is better than the Classic 1 (at least to my ears and to value), but once you get to the Classic 3/Signature, I think it gives some serious thought.  Best of luck in your search and decision.  If you're considered VPI, check out their forum, as there is a lot good information for future owners and current owners.  Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I started years ago with a VPI HW-19, had it for about 10 years, and then decided to try a Rega P5. I was struck by how much "quieter in the groove" the Rega was. I know VPI has come along way since the HW-19.
