Rega or ClearAudio Turntable

Clearaudio is more CD like!

I would any day take a Rega P8 or a Thorens TD350. If you are getting into analogue, knowing all the hassles, you better get the essence of analogue playback which lot of the modern TTs miss (that includes Clearaudio IMO).

Wanted to say the Traveler beat out the Rega RP6.

Sbrownnw- Just curious, what review are you speaking about. In the recent S-Phile review of the Traveler, S. Mejias appears to much prefer the Traveler over Rega. However, the comparison was mostly done against a P3-24. Toward the end of the review, he then gets an RP3, and finally installs the same cartridge he had on the Traveler. At that point, he seems to just slightly prefer the VPI. Again, just one persons experience, but an interesting read.

Not all high end turn tables use heavy platters. Just look at: Rega, Holborne, SME, etc
