help choosing a turn table


good evening,

I will be purchasing my first turn table..  it will be for a second system using a Lyngdorf TDA 1120 combined with a pair of monitor audio gold 100 speakers .  Budget is preferably < 2k and ideally < $1,500..  music to be played is likely classic rock, 80 s music, maybe some alternative.. want detailed sound that is not fatiguing .. appreciate everyone’s input thanks

Yoyo, thanks for correctly interpreting my meaning, when I wrote that “if Rega are right, everyone else is wrong”. I was indeed referring to the extreme low mass/high rigidity mantra. Nearly everyone else approaches the problem of isolation and energy dissipation in ways different from Rega.

I’m a Rega agnostic. The design philosophy is contrarian, so it might succeed or fail in practice, but I’ve never heard any Rega so far as I can recall. If Rega is right, almost everyone else is wrong.
