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

So the Lyngdorf has a phono stage so I don’t have to have a TT with one.. would that change suggestions ?  

I was looking for a new turntable. They Rega Planar 3 is at the top of my list.  And yes I’m a newbie to vinyl… to make you all laugh.. it’s actually my wife that wants it !!😂

 

 

thanks for all the advice..  the table will be on a stable shelf.. I’d prefer something relatively easy to use and reliable yet sounds good..  unlikely to tinker with it to much except perhaps for some upgrades of phono cartridge in the future or arm🤷🏻‍♂️..

 

 

Appreciate everyone’s advice.. will probably go with the Rega P3 as it has been recommended by multiple people and has good reviews.

 

I will also check that the cartridge is compatible with the photo stage of the Lyngdorf.

keep on listening !

really appreciate everyone’s advice..  after reading some reviews, and considering everyone’s advice, I decided to go with the Rega 3 50th anniversary TT..  

 

warm regards and happy listening 👍🏼
