I never tried the Parasound but the Rega mm mk5
the winner is the Moon.
The Musical Surroundings was nice but a little flat, the Moon did it right, detail, depth, sweet and rich sound.
The Rega was bad, I will be kind and not elaborate on how bad. I guess they know how to make good turntables.
Customer support from Musical Surroundings was almost non-existent. Rega's was OK. Simaudio's was the best.
