Adding a turntable to my system

@thirsty93 - I’d probably go for the mmf2.3. But that judgement is based on the merits of their 5.3, which is pretty darn good. So the question is - How much less capable is the 2.3?

By far the most up-gradable TT (the one with the most after market bits) is the Rega - it holds that crown - I’ve upgraded my Rega to the point where the lid is the only original part - but that gets expensive.

If I had to choose between the Rega and the Project - i’d go with the Project.

So - my preference...
1. mmf 2.3
2. Project
3. Rega

BUT - for just a leeeeettle beet more ($800) is the SOTA Moonbeam III, which is my preferred choice at this level of turntable AND there are some nice upgrade options (accessories) available from SOTA for future uprgades, which you know will work.

It’s a class above the three you have selected but for only $300 more! But I do believe it would be a much better long term option, primarily because you will not feel you need to upgrade any time soon based on its performance

Sorry to muddy the waters

@stringreen - I'm finished with upgrades!!!

Ever since i upgraded my cables :-)

I’d avoid the Carbon or any other Pro-Ject. Every time I see one in person the look & feel quality sucks. I’d look towards Rega at those price points -- at least you get a good arm, and a platter material that won't grab hold of an MC cartridge's large magnet (if you are so foolish to choose such a pairing) . And I’d also be wary of the Mani, which seems over-hyped. Not everything Schiit is gold (and I own a Yggdrasil).
