What is the better sounding turntable: Project 1XCarbon or the Rega P3 ??

Rega seems to be closing out recent stock of the P3 table which I have seen advertised on "The Music Room" website. The Music Room also is selling new and used Project 1X Carbon tables. 

The newer Project 2X Carbon looks great, but reviews seem  to indicate it is neither as good sounding or built as well as it predecessor.

Need some feedback as to what table: the Rega P3 or the Project 1X Carbon offers better value, and which will work well with different cartridges.

Thank you,

S.J.

How do you describe a sound of a turntable itself ?

Tonearm/cartridge is what you’re hearing basically.

Different cartridge - different sound

The sound of a pickup arm/phono cartridge combination can vary depending on the turntable on which it is mounted. Turntables do have a "sound."

If we can swap cartridges quickly, how can you swap turntables without changing arm/cartridge ? Those turntables the OP is asking for does not have an option to change tonearm @cleeds
