Yes.Rega and nice $300 cart will lead you unto path of Hell.Be forewarned!!!!!Abandon all hope.Might as well sell you car now and get hat $10K deck with three arms and $7K tube be phono stage and save yourself the in between models.Hope yours is strong marriage as well.No seriosly if you can find shop with Rega AND VPI check out he Scout.New or used it's a killer diller though you may not be enough into it/have enough Lp's etc to wan to go hat out.But I had the B&O RX in HS and 15 years latter got NAD (Rega cheapie) and went down the road.Another cheaper deck maybe in between are some of the Music Hall models.Call Bes Nivera who has wide selection at Music Direct and tell him Chazz said he's "treat you right".His catalogue has Rega,VPI and Music Hall and others so if you can wait order catalogue
