I was looking for a new turntable. They Rega Planar 3 is at the top of my list. And yes I’m a newbie to vinyl… to make you all laugh.. it’s actually my wife that wants it !!😂
help choosing a turn table
good evening,
I will be purchasing my first turn table.. it will be for a second system using a Lyngdorf TDA 1120 combined with a pair of monitor audio gold 100 speakers . Budget is preferably < 2k and ideally < $1,500.. music to be played is likely classic rock, 80 s music, maybe some alternative.. want detailed sound that is not fatiguing .. appreciate everyone’s input thanks
@rbgator94 Search up ground problems with Rega turntables before you commit, I had a devil of a time tracking down the ground problem with my P6 , good luck. |
Having been through the turntable / vinyl process over the past decade, I don't know that I would necessarily recommend it. . .but if you must, I would start with a Rega P3, or so. However, the sound quality at these prices will never come close to matching a CD player or streaming (from what I hear). I would suggest improving your digital end, until you are ready to drop $10,000 for a decent vinyl set up. Of course, you can get into vinyl much cheaper, and if you want to do so just for kicks, then have fun, and perhaps start with a Rega, but realize that the sound quality of the vinyl will always sound inferior to digital at these prices. . . but it is more fun to drop a needle on a record, instead of pressing PLAY on a remote. Enjoy the journey! |
