That Pro-Ject would be a very nice table. Another one you should take a look at in the same price range is the Music Hall MMF 9.3SE.

+1 for the Music Hall 9.3 - they put a lot of good design into this product, especially the arms - the plinth on the 9.3 SE is also very good.
You can get the 9.3 with the Goldring Eroica LX - so try it first before spending money on another cartridge - always trust your ears If YOU like it that’s all that matters :-) Regards - Steve |
@zeeeee83 - I originally had a 1981 Rega Planar II with the glass platter, but was never satisfied with the sound.- the glass platter is particularly problematic - great for wow/flutter - lousy for sound quality After 25 years of "investment" in tweaks and upgrades my TT is now finally sounding amazing. But the only original parts left from the old Planar II is the lid and the on/off switch - here are my upgrades... Turntable Mod’s | My Audio Alchemy (image99.net) The Music Hall range has many/all of those tweaks built right into it, so I believe it is the better of the two brands. You could save some oney and drop down to the Music Hall 7.3 with the Ortofon Black cartridge.- a great TT/cartridge combo If you decide to go with an MC cartridge I can highly recommend Simaudio MOON phono stages - they are beyond whisper quiet and can accomodate most of todays cartridges - even the entry level Moon 110LP v2.
Hope that helps Regards - Steve |
