Turntable prices. Is my mind going?

A finesse apex in the rain requires no higher math….

I have a Regal RP 6 fitted with a stock Denon DL103

I have a Rega P10 fitted with an Aphelion 2. Playing both through an Aesthetic Rhea phon stage.

I enjoy the TT with the Denon DL103. Not judging the sound but it just is more enjoyable to listen to. The P 10 rig is 6 times the price of the RP 6.

Just saying

@tomic601 I didn't know what the 993 was and looked it up. Best looking generation. Then it went downhill and the design became hideous for a decade. It now looks decent again.

But I never thought Porsche was about good looks as much as looking clean and tight. 

These discussions  always amuse me. Funny how some people are turned off by a more expensive  piece  of equipment  than they can afford or want to spend and yet they have  spend what others think as retarded sums on things others would spend money on. Most of it is based on personal  choices  how you spend your money. If a person  spends more than the quoted 69 dollars for a turntable so what? Another might buy a package  of cigarettes  for 20 dollars or a 12 pack of beer for 35 dollars other people might find that spending silly. (Canadian  prices  on the smokes and beer). What purpose  does money spent on a holiday have? So someone wants

to sit around in the sun a do nothing  so others can serve them and that makes them feel wealthy  instead of working to be that way?  The conclusion  that wealthy  people are lazy and stupid is the opinion  of those that truly  are those things. Many people post on here to brag and feel good about themselves  and if there system  was truly  as good as they caim why don't the listen to it more offen instead on being keyboard warriors? Many people get offended  by the components  others have because  they have chosen  audio as there hobby and yet that is not there hobby there hobby is a rooster swinging  competition! They take great offense  when someone  else has a longer rooster. 

Just do what many people do and research gear in your particular budget, get a TT with good performance/reviews if audition is not practical, buy the best cartridge you can. Also research proper set up if not familiar with that. Use it till you know it well, then decide to keep or trade up. If a phono amp needs to be part of your system, used is the way to go imo.
