help choosing a turn table


good evening,

I will be purchasing my first turn table..  it will be for a second system using a Lyngdorf TDA 1120 combined with a pair of monitor audio gold 100 speakers .  Budget is preferably < 2k and ideally < $1,500..  music to be played is likely classic rock, 80 s music, maybe some alternative.. want detailed sound that is not fatiguing .. appreciate everyone’s input thanks

Rega is definitely not the best turntable, but it is the best for a first because it is basically set and forget, which is what you want when you’re starting out. Later on you can move to other things if you like. But not now. IMO. 

Congratulations! Pay all those those naysayers no mind. Evidently they did not read your post. You made it clear that you wanted a new table under 2 grand. Enjoy your new REGA!!

I agree, congrats! When you get it up and running, let us know what you think.

I have a Rega P3. With the right phono stage, it's been a lot of fun for me - I love it. 

@rbgator94 congrats! Have fun with the new TT. You can always upgrade to whatever your budget will allow down the road. Or, you’ll have a blast with the Rega and be good to go!
