Would you buy a Rega P1 or Goldring GR-2

I have a Prima Luna Dialogue Two (38 watt tube amp) with Dynaudio 220's. I am buying my first turntable and listen to mostly rock, followed by classical, blues, then jazz. I found similar pricing on Rega P1 w/ ortofon cartridge and the Goldring GR-2 w/ goldring 1012gx cartridge. What sound better. Cant listen to either due to geography.

Just answering your question, "Would you buy a Rega P1 or Goldring GR-2?" No, I would not buy a Rega P1 or Goldring GR-2.
While I can't speak for Viridian, I prefer this turntable anywhere near that price range.

For about the same money a Technics SL1200 will do you better. No off speed issues. No wavering piano notes.
You get VTA can swap carts easily. You get a 45 rpm BUTTON.

No doubt about it.
