Rega P2 or ...?


Do you think a Rega P2 hooked into the pre on my Belles Aria Integrated will sound better than my bluesound node 2i (amazon hd) into my schiit Gungir multibit?  If no, then at what level will the turntable sound better than my digital setup?
The Rega P2 can be had for $400 so I am considering that turntable...  is there a turntable for similar $ that outperforms the rega P2?

not that my opinion means anything to you.....but when i had the Belles Aria, I didnt think the output for the phono was enough, so you might want to look at a external phono preamp.

no.     you are comparing analog to digital ..          dont buy a turntable just because its in your price range.....you wont be happy and will want to upgrade soon after.                 if you want to get a nice turntable setup, then plan on spending  $1500-2k , which includes turntable, cartridge, phono preamp, phono cable .

do you know how to setup a cartridge ?
