As a frustrated and another former Rega RP3 owner, I would unabashedly recommend a different turntable. Aside from any isolation issues, the lack of an easy VTA adjustment for different cartridges is just plain arrogant. Some <$600 turntables have a VTA adjustment process with simple set screws at the base. Some carts will not even mount due to their own height.
There are tons of <$2000 tables out there Rega. BTW, the Ortofon 2M Blue is quite good IMO, but the market for REALLY good, fairly inexpensive moving coil cartridges has expanded rapidly in the past few years.
