I listened for months to various tables and ended up choosing the Rega P5 with the TT PSU and an Exact2 cartridge. For my price-point I could not find one that sounded better. Plus the fact that Stereophile chose this table as the analogue product of the year in 2005. Everyone had their opinion but really matters is yours - let your ears direct you to the table of choice.
best "entry level" audiophile TT?
I'm looking to replace the relatively crappy turntabel I'm using right now. Everyone says Rega (p3 or p2?). I've also been impressed with the Pro-Ject RM-5, Dual CS 455 Gold, and the Music Hall MMF-5 turntables. Any thoughts? any additions to the list? What are key issues / questions to be addressed in finding the best turntable for me?
