Rega P5 - Stereophiles 2005 Analogue product odf the year. I had one with an Exact cartridge - no fuss to set up and sounded wonderful. I upgraded to the P7 with a DV20XH, and once agian, rega was a snap to set up (need shims for the arm to accomodate the Dynavector). VPIs are excellent tables, too. If you get the chance watch M Fremer's "Turntable Setup" DVD - both tables are hgihlighted.
Scout vs. P5
I am currently trying to decide b/w purhasing either a VPI Scout or a Rega P5. Both fit within my alotted budget, but from what I read, it seems both tables employ different methodolgies when it comes to improving playback, i.e. the Rega being a "closed" system.
At the moment, I am using a rotel pre-amp/amp combination and B&W 704s.
Any insight regarding the pro's and con's b/w the two TTs would be appreciated.
Also, any cartridge recommendations?
I am interested in the Dyna 10x5 and 20xH if I go the VPI route, but unsure of what pairs well with the Rega.
