Upscale offers the Feickert Volare with Origin Live tonearm and Ultratracker cartridge installed for a package price of 4.3k. Surely something like that would work.
Best turntable for the buck
I now amazingly find that my analog system has fallen behind my digital system in SQ and I want to investigate how to improve it.
Currently I have a heavily modified Rega RP3 turntable, with two power supplies, a new platter, sub-platter and other internal enhancements. My cartridge is the Clearaudio Virtuoso.
Not that it’s bad, but I want to look for something that will significantly improve the sound of my current setup.
Will about a 4K investment do that?

There is a glaring omission from the recommendations- the Technics SL-1200/1210 G. I’m a former Rega and Sota owner. I see the recommendations for the exact same Sota that I owned and just cringe. I hated mine. The Technics offers everything I value, incredible sound quality, amazing build quality, it’s easy to set up and won’t go out of adjustment. I’ve bought my last turntable. |
@bassdude I’ve seen that video and it’s spot on. I actually tried to be kind to my wallet and started with the GR. It is noticeably brighter than the G, and doesn’t have the low frequency extension of the G either. The G is worth every penny and then some. |
