Dual 1009 : Is it a good TT to buy ?


I was looking to buy a Rega P3 to start my Analogue journey. I mostly have old records (though well maintained). Will a Dual 1009 fixed with Shure ME44-7 Cart serve as a good start ? Can it come close to a Rega P2 or P3 ?

Lots of vintage tables can not only come close to a Rega P2 or P3, but beat them. Problem is finding a vintage table in optimum operational condition. Sometimes it takes more to restore these tables to original operating condition than going out and buying a new or well maintained used Rega.

I have a B&O 8002 restored by Soundsmith that is well worth the investment I made in it. Certainly sounds better than my Rega table did.
