3k budget for Turntable and Phono Noob- do I need external power supplies?


Good Day All,

Trying to put together a vinyl rig for the first time, the local shops all have Rega and Project so will likely land there however open to suggestions

Is it worth adding a $500 Sbooster or IFI Elite to either the TT or phono or both?

or should I up budget to 4k without them?

I was thinking either Rega P3 Special edition with their Aria phono or Project X1B with their balanced phono

thanks in advance

Absolutely. Best you can possibly afford before extra upgrading extras. Enjoy for many hours... the phono stage will need breaking in as well as the cartridge. 200 hours of vinyl play is listening to around 500 album sides. Rega or Project are great options.
