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

Perhaps easiest to set up but also easiest to upset. (See what I did there?) Because of extremely low mass.

With a Rega three point cart it's easy, but with a 'normal' cart it's about the same.

Still need to align and check the VTF.

I had a P3 and when upgrading I would have jumped over the P6 and gone P8.

Better arm.

You might also look @ the MoFi decks which come with a variety of pre-mounted cartridges.

The store owner will check the speed, alignment and VTF and repack and send....I've pretty much eliminated the P6 but am also looking at a MOFI........I wish I could compare both lines at around the 4K price point....anyone been able to do that.

@OP. Make sure you like the sound of Rega's cartridges as not everyone does. With all due respect I'm not sure that looking for a five minute setup is the best way to spend that amount of money. Any competent dealer will set up the turntable for you and as long as it's a non suspended design, the setup will not change in transit. Technics and Clearaudio are strong competitors in that price range and the Clearaudio's can be had as a package with one of Clearaudio's own cartridges.
