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

Too much audio forum/audio website reading and brainwashing.

Something like this. Look around and get without cartridge for $1500

Mobile Fidelity UltraDeck Manual belt-drive turntable with pre-mounted cartridge at Crutchfield
