Not having owned either brand, I’d go for the Feickert over VPI. You buy that Prime Scout, and then you blink, and BOOM it will be superseded by the "Optimus Prime Ranger Mk 8" and you’ll be running in place on their never ending treadmill of circular design changes and upgrades.
Turntable Advice Needed
I am looking to move my existing Rega RP3 to a secondary system and upgrade to a new turntable for my primary system. Current setup is a Plinius Hiato integrated with Dynaudio Contour 3.4 speakers. I stream via an Innuous Zenith server and a Lumin T2 streamer. I am extremely happy with the sound I am getting from this setup but think a turntable upgrade might be in order. Since I’ve had the Rega P1 and P3 my first thought was to just upgrade to the new P6. As I know nothing about the “sound” of different turntables I really don’t know what I might be missing. I’m not a big tweaker but just want something that sounds good. Spending range is probably in the $1,500 -$2,500 range and I will also need a phono preamp. I can be persuaded to spend a bit more but am looking for the best sound/value ratio I can find. I’ve read in some threads that Rega lacks a bit in bass but I really don’t have anything to compare it to.
I would very much appreciate any thoughts/advice folks might be willing to share.
Many thanks
