Turntable Advice on Hum/Brands


I've been considering purchasing a Rega Planar 6 TT. I read a recent thread that Rega are susceptible to hum/feedback. I have a wooden floor,  so I'm wondering if I should go with a different TT. Any suggestions for turntables more resilient to hum in the same $2500.00 or so range? I appreciate any insights.

@eddieboy713  Rega wires their tonearms with a 3 wire system, most use a 5 wires system (balanced). This is the only difference. In terms of performance I do not think you can find a better performing turntable at that price. If you wanted to jump to a table with significantly better overall performance I highly suggest the Thorens TD 1600, but it is twice the price. However, the Rega does not have a suspension and adding in the price of a good isolation platform kills the price advantage.
