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

btw the rumour that Rega is overhyped and overpriced is as old as Rega.

Is that good or bad?

@lewm If you are a Rega fan, probably not good. I like objective reviews.

@rbgator94  Looking forward to reading your initial experiences with the Vinyl Source.

I'm sure there will be plenty of entertainment to be had.

I’m a Rega agnostic. The design philosophy is contrarian, so it might succeed or fail in practice, but I’ve never heard any Rega so far as I can recall. If Rega is right, almost everyone else is wrong.
