HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE


I am going to buy a new turntable. I am trying to decide between the music Hall 5.1 and the Rega P3. I mostly listen to Folk music and 70's rock and roll. It will be hooked up to a marantz PM7200. Which would you choose and why?

Thanks

Think our suggestions are showing signs of price creep. The Traveler and the Basis are different beasts, as they should be for the increase in price over a P3 or MH 5.1.
I could not agree more on Basis. I moved from a Rega P-25 to an older Basis 2000 with a Basis modified Rega arm. It was far superior to my Rega table.

Recently I bought a Basis Vector 3 arm and replaced the Rega arm. The difference, to quote my wife who usually does not notice this sort of thing, said "Whatever you changed made more difference than anything you have done before."
So, was it the Rega? If so, are you enjoying it? I would be interested in what your thoughts are.
Both table manufacturers blow. However, you get what you pay for. You'll end up buying yet another table at some point early down the road - so - save your money and buy a good table (better than the Rega's and music hall's of the world) first time out....

I hate the way regas play "slightly" fast to make them sound more "lively."
