For my 2 cents worth, I've had the Rega P3, P5, RP6, and RP8, the latter 3 with TTPSU's. I've also had the Project Expression III, with the fishline antiskate. Those all have been sold and I currently have a Technics SL 1300 and restored [byV.N.] Thorens TD 150 and 160Super. These vintage TTs I vastly prefer to the Projects and Regas..The 2 Thorens have Jelco 750D tonearms.By the way, Sunnyjim, I'm curious as to which TT you finally settled on, if you don't mind sharing this info.
Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon - is there $500 difference
OK looking for some help from someone who hopefully has first hand experience with both these tables....I am getting ready to buy a second table, my choices are the Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon , both come with speedbox and the Rega is $500 more , is it worth it?
I already know its a better table......I am a chronic researcher before I buy anything and I really cant find a head to head comparison......leave the cartridge out of the comparison, I have several of my own.
Both have a really good price on them right now from separate places so theres no asking the salesman, I have no store locally that has either table in to listen to, and I am afraid the sale is going to go off soon so I have to decide asap.
again , $500 difference?! maybe? No? Yes?.....I have smoke coming out of my ears reading about both, and others, and trying to decide!
The Rega is a little above what I was shooting to spend on a second table (my other is a modified Thorens TD 160 ) but I am willing to go that route if its worth the $500
any help would be greatly appreciated !
