Turntable for Rega RB300 Arm

I was given a Rega RB300 arm by a friend who recently upgraded his table. Question: What armless turntables can be purchased that would take this arm. So far the least expensive is the VPI-HW-19jr for $650. Does anyone know of anything less expensive but still would deliver comparable or better performance?

The only thing to buy imho is a used Linn LP-12. Any incarnation, every part available at reasonable prices & probably will be while we are alive, most musicallity, far far above any american table i know of, & I've sold a hell alot of of the US tabbles, & have heard them at the shows. The synergy of the Rega properly mounted on the LP12 is molto bene!

Thank-you for your input. I went with a Rega Planar 3 turntable. It was simple and inexpensive. The sound is very listenable. I'm a happy camper!

If you want a KILLER table/arm combo save your pennies and get a Rega Planar-25 with the RB-600 arm.It is the best table for $2000 and under IMO and Rega offers a trade in allowance for a 3 to go up to a 25.Its a very nice allowance too! I had a 3 for a short time before the 25 and the improvement is not small.

N.B. - when you get the upgrade 'itch,' take a look at the Origin Live upgrades for Rega tables/arms. If I didn't have my LP-12, I'd probably get a P-25 and 'mod' it into a killer table! Enjoy! -John
