I only have experience with the Marantz TT -15. This TT got me back into vinyl big time. I had forgotten have great records sounded. I never had any problems with this TT. My only problem with it was that it made me want to get even more into analog. I upgraded to a VPI Classic 1 and then to a Classic 3 but I still miss the Marantz.
Quick poll: Rega RP6 or Marantz TT-15 ?
I am a little torn between the two choices.
I would like opinions on those two tables if you have any experience (or even a hunch with no direct experience!)
I would be using the stock cartridges for awhile ( Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood for the Marantz and Exact 2 for the RP6).
The Rega of course comes with the external PSU and dust cover and this alone is very tempting. Also the fact the the motor-belt is hidden (from a practical point of view)
Then again, the design of the Marantz (which is actually a Clearaudio product mainly) is beautifull and the tonearm is pretty appealing.
For the sound, I have no experience with either...
So, whad'ya think ?
