I see from your other post that you are very new to turntables. I agree that the ortofon may be better, but my advice is to get the Rega cart and you will know everything is set up correctly and you won't have to think about it. Some people shy away from analog because they can't stop obsessing over VTA, alignment and everything else. Don't put yourself thorough this, especially at the beginning. Just get the Rega, use thee 3-point setup on the arm and play records. Then in a year or two you can worry about new carts or whatever else bothers you.
