Which usual suspect TT in $1500 range.

I have a Rega Planar 3 with an arm designed explicitly for the ADC XLM Mk II which has been my reference cart for 3 decades. No real styluses available so must make a change.

Narrowed it down to 3 TT's in range of what I want to spend.
Cart will be Nagoka MP-200 which weighs 6.5 grams , low-medium compliance at 20 , which I will track at its max
of 2 grams. I listen to Classical Music only on vinyl.

I like the looks of the SOTA for whats that's worth.

Schubert,
Small correction - 20cu is the static compliance of the MP200. Dynamic cu is 7.2 @ 100Hz. This translates to approximately 16 cu @ 10Hz. This makes sense with a max VTF of 2g. I'm not sure if it will make much difference on the arms you're considering, but you should be aware.

I understand the new Travelers have speed stabilization circuitry and a 10" arm. I can't say I've compared these tables, but the VPI looks more appropriate.
Regards,
