Turntable in $155-2500 range


I'm looking to upgrade (add a new?) turntable. I currently have a KAB modded Technics 1210 that I will likely keep for a second system. I've had a Rega Planar2 with Elys cartridge I've liked in the past.

As many have noted, it's hard to hear many 'tables these days. Dealers are few and far between. Here is my short list of candidates:

-Rega P3-24 with the TTU PS
-JA Michell TecnoDec (a late candidate that I am interested in hearing about)
-VPI Scout
-Project RM 9.1
-Music Hall MMF 9.1
-Clearaudio Emotion CMB (I do have young kids an am a bit concerned about the Maestro surviving)

I'm also interested in hearing about other options. Other key equipment: PrimaLuna Prologue 3 Pre, Wyred4Sound monoblocks, Gallo 3.1 Ref speakers.

Thanks,

Tim

Contact Don Better Audio (donbetteraudio.com). Tel. 216-375-1393. Great guy, great dealer, and he carries a lot of great gear, including the incredible WT Amadeus!
The TNT mentioned above is a good table as is the VPI Scoutmaster w/Signature arm.
Clearaudio Solution (before the Emotion) comes with the CMB standard.

I have a VPI Classic that is Stellar.
I hate to be the contrarian in the group, but what is it that you don't like about your KAB Technics? Your table is an excellent value turntable that will accommodate a reasonable range of cartridges and is built to last. Perhaps you could get more improvement with a different cartridge, phono preamp, or record cleaning machine.

Just something to think about.
