Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up....


I need a 3K to 5K table and MC Cart for my Aavik U-150 / Borresen X-3 set up.......I'm looking for a 5 minute set up and it seems Rega could be the easiest. I can get the P8 with Apheta 3 Cart for $4200 or the P6 w/ Ania Pro cart for $2600....Any other ideas?

The OP can probably see there are many ways to approach his desired outcome.

"I’ve pretty much eliminated the P6 but am also looking at a MOFI"

Even the highest level Rega, it still is a polarizing brand.

Having demoed the Mofi Ultradeck in my setup 6 years ago, I heard it as a "okay" piece for the price.

Now that it’s at $1500 retail, with a $500-1K whatever cart it can be nice setup for less than $2500. With a used $2-3K phonostage it will be a decent rig until a more substantial cash outlay for a used $5K table is desired. $3-5K used can get a noticeably "better" performing unit-IMO.
