Quick poll: Rega RP6 or Marantz TT-15 ?

I am a little torn between the two choices.

I would like opinions on those two tables if you have any experience (or even a hunch with no direct experience!)

I would be using the stock cartridges for awhile ( Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood for the Marantz and Exact 2 for the RP6).

The Rega of course comes with the external PSU and dust cover and this alone is very tempting. Also the fact the the motor-belt is hidden (from a practical point of view)

Then again, the design of the Marantz (which is actually a Clearaudio product mainly) is beautifull and the tonearm is pretty appealing.

For the sound, I have no experience with either...

So, whad'ya think ?

1.The tonearm on the RP6 is also great
2.There are so many VTA adjusters for the rega
3.The rega arm is also made of high quality materials
4.No comment for looks it is strictly personal choice

Good luck :-)

Ended-up getting the "Marantz Acrylic Spectacular"!

Very, very nice. Sounds great so far, no issues.

It occurred to me that I could make it a bit more of the eye candy it already is by using some inexpensive LED lighthing to shine through the light-conducting acrylic platter.

Does not improve sound, but what a conversation piece...looks beautifull at night. As with my other gear, (Sonus Faber, Pathos) LOOKS COUNT although of course not the main criteria.

Marantz TT-15 in my system. Thank you for your input. A very nice table, arm and cartridge. I couldn't ask for more at the price. Lovely looks and sound, and surprisingly quiet too. A great package overall, no regrets, just music!
