thoughts on Goldring GR2


Thinking about getting back into vinyl. Not prepared to spend enough to get a rega p3/24. I've read good reviews on the goldring and the prices are good. Any suggestions and feedback would be appreciated. thanks

I imagine you're probably thinking of getting it used. It is a very good value, comparable more to the P2 than to the P3-24 or its variants. Has the legit RB250, not the wannabe that comes on the Goldring GR1.2. What cartridge are you considering? Matching to the Rega arm is fairly easy but nonetheless should still be an important consideration. If you find one on the used market you should jump on it, they don't come up that often. It is also possible to find the NAD 533 or even the Rega P2 for around the same price used and those are all identical tables.
