Budget Turntable

My brother-in-law is looking for a new budget turntable that will provide the best possible sound while on a tight budget. He has about 50 LPs and does not think he will be investing in others.

What I had in mind was either the Rega P3-24 (TT + RB301 + Elys 2) or the Clearaudio Emotion (TT + CMB + Satisfy + Maestro). What do you guys think?

Also, what would you suggest for a budget phono stage for these turntable combos?

Last, what about a budget external power supply (if any) for these turntable combos?

3rd- If you are on a budget you will not beat the music these tables will make. And really trouble free with easy set up and push button play. You have Kevin who delivers the best customer service in the business. KAB.U.S.A.

Cerrot- With the Cardas tonearm rewire and the fluid damper any bass issues are resolved. The motor is dead quiet- check the spec's at KAB U.S.A. There can be issues with the platter so a good mat is mandatory in my view. If you are hung up on the stock tonearm you can install the Origin arm board and a better(?) arm. With that and some good table isolation you will have a giant killer. There is a segment of this community that dismiss this table out of hand, but most that have taken the time to listen to a well thought out and modded Technics TT have been rewarded with one of the great values in lp playback.
