After a near 30 hiatus, my reentry was a Rega RP1.
It was fine for what it was, to play my beloved records I just couldn’t part with when CD’s were the new kid on the block.
I don’t know anything about the Comet, and a quick glance it appears to just be a nice entry level table, maybe nicer since it is US made?
What Greg mentions regarding using the best cart/phono you can swing is solid advice. Those 2 components are gonna show you what your table is capable of.
If you're convinced you need a new table, I would save a couple more bucks and religiously scan the listings for a VPI Scout or even a Classic along with spending as much as you can tolerate for a LOMC.
If you already have a decent phono amp then, you will hear what the fuss is all about.
Someone else can chime in regarding a different, but equally competent brand.
