Please disregard my older thread, starting a new one that has more information and more appropriate title, which didnt let me modify sadly, as I had commented on it already. here we go:
Need to decide on a turntable upgrade, where I have an opportunity to get either one at a very substantial discounted price. of course, they both happened at the same time and need to decide fairly quickly.
Both of these options are in the same MSRP range of 10k CAD roughly.
First option is the new Stable 33.33 Immuable, which no one actually has in their hands yet at home, but will do an audition tomorrow. So the thing with this table is, its very basic, it does not have a speed controller to change from 33 to 45. I love the higher model that this company makes, but its way past my price range and there are never any in the used market available. What I also meant by basic , is it looks very basic, but it has integrated levelling iso acoustic feet. The price break up on this table from what I understand, is the table is worth 5k CAD and the tonearm is also 5k (is primarily 3D printed from highly durable and lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced polymer). Cartridge would be an extra, so that will be an extra expense as well.

Second option is the Transrotor Zet3. comes with a rega rb880 arm, a hana SL, upgraded TMD bearing and upgraded Konstant Reference power supply. Which is what brought the price a little over 10k. Without these extras, this table is 8800$ with standard bearing and RB330 arm.
I havent heard this exact table, but to refresh my memory, I will be listening to a similar one tomorrow from Transrotor. No one close by has the zet 3 on demo. This table looks really beautiful, is very heavy and will also allow me to add another motor and arm for a mono cartridge, which will be very interesting.

Currently I have a rega p6 with ania. I found the sound a bit too live and hot, if that makes sense, its not a bad table though by any means. Also, one thing that bugged me a lot, is I could never use a Record weight on this table and i have some warped records that I know could most likely benefit.
Let me know your thoughts and I will also follow up tomorrow with my listenings. I know these are never really great, because the store uses different , preamp, amp, power cables, cables, just about everything from a-z is different, but not much I can do.
