Rega RP3 vs Sota Moonbeam II

"Joie de Vivre" = run fast. Buy a good old jap DD and you can get even more.

Kiko56,Guess I better get a P6 for my new Ortofon 2m black then

Kiko65, I'm a big fan of detachable headshells as I love to swap carts around for the hell of it.
I LOVE the old-school look of the Sota Comet with the 303, but the 2m black is very sensitive to VTA.And fooling with spacers doesn't appeal to me and might not get the exact VTA anyway.
I know , fact certain, a turntable setup that is great for most often is NOT for symphonic music.
I'm beginning to think I need to quit jerking around and buy a Michell Gyrodeck. Other suggestions?

Thanhs Kiko,I went by Needle Doctor today on my way to see a friend in a hospital few blocks from there.
Long story short, i'm listening to Eric Satie on 2-Xperience Classic with the acrylic base and 9cc arm with the cart I happened to have in my car they mounted for me,a Nagoka MP-150.
Sounds mighty fine and at $1099 couldn't pass it up.Beautiful looking table as well,I'm happy !

Thanks.
