Rega, Pro-ject, Music Hall, NEED help
Howdy to all.
Looking at the following three tables below and want to hear thoughts from owners or those who have had experience with any of them... pro's.......cons'.........throw it at me.....also if there is any table around the $1,000 price point, not listed in the above that you feel is worth a look please let me know. Thanks.
Currently considering:
Pro-ject Xpression
Rega RP3
Music Hall 5.3

Second on the Sota. If you're willing to go used, you could even find a nice Sapphire in good shape with a decent arm for that kind of money. That gets you into a reference-capable rig with a myriad of upgrade choices as time goes by. The Rega is a good table and a fair value new, but has no suspension. That could be an issue for you depending on where you will place the rig. Both the Music Hall and Pro-Ject are also well-regarded, but I've not heard those units so can't offer useful input. Good luck & happy listening! |
Until the new Technics 1200 is released later this year, I would go with a Stanton ST150 at $600. Yes, I know it is a DJ table, but I have been using one happily in my main system for the last year. You will need to swap out the cartridge (go inexpensive like a Shure 35C or ramp up to a Denon 103) and provide your own preamp, but it is quite the turntable for the money. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ST150HP Rich |
