Nakamichi high-com II in record chain only or listening / record chain (vinyl source only)

Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon - is there $500 difference
I think so. I had 2 pro-ject tables, original xpression and xpeession III. MY current RP6 blows both away. See my system details what I use with it. It boogies and does blues and classical well.
