turntables for dartzeel phono preamp...

Anyone hear dartzeel preamp as phonp stage and can recommend a turntable for it. I also have a dartzeel amp. Money is tight so unless there is a recommended tt using the dart it will have to wait till get the budget to get higher end tt. has heard the rega p3-24 or p5 or vpi scoutmaster others? max of $2,000 for tt + cartridge.

Mike

PS. using reference marantz cd player (sounds great just want to scratch vinyl itch have best both worlds) needs compare favorably to it otherwise will wait till got more $

Sota offers reconditioned tables at superb prices,for those not being able to swing a new one.Thought you might want to know this.
Good luck

James,I have had 4 different generation Sota Cosmos tables.I've never had the "slightest" drift in speed,and believe "this" is one advantage of the design.Accurate to the 'nth degree!!
Sorry to hear about your problems here.Possibly a worn belt?Maybe the table is not perfectly level?Who knows?I'd certainly call Sota because that should not be a concern.

As to the little "pitch nob"...earlier tables had a small(so what?)nob,recessed in the back "well",where the air hose and ground was.Once again I've never experienced anything "loose" here,and never any "play".Actually,I always thought it had a high quality feel to it,during rotation.
The very latest Cosmos(which I now have)has an upgraded nob(I don't know why,as the old one did just fine)which reminds me of the nobs found on the better microscopes!It is a bit larger,and more refined looking too.
Really a nice touch,but I could care less,as I've never experienced any pitch,speed problems.

Good luck
