Rega or VPI

I currently have a music Hall MMF-5 with a shure V15VxMR cartridge. My local dealer has a Rega P25 with the RB600 tonearm, on consgnment for $750. I am tempted to snap it up. Would there be a noticeable difference in the sound quality? Would I be better off waiting and spending a little more on a VPI? Would the Shure be a good match for a while?

Which VPI are you considering?

I haven't really researched the VPI line very much,I just know that they are a very popular brand. Price point would be below $1200.00.

If you're considering spending up to $1200 on a TT + arm, the Nottingham Horizon + Rega RB250 should be on your short list.

The 250 can be modded as/when you choose to at least match the RB600. The Horizon is way better than a Rega table.

My $.02.

At that price point on the VPI, I believe i would go with the Rega 25. The best deal in the VPI line is the Scout which lists for $1600 using the JMW9 tonearm. This is an excelent table and better than the Rega.
