If you currently own the Rega why not do some mods via ipturntables. New feet braces sub platter and motor isolation. Around $400. You will be happy.
Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100
I have seen a lot of turntable and cartridges packages in $1000- $1100, such as the Project RPM3 with the Sumiko BP-2 MC. Project Xperience 1 with a Sumiko Pearl MM; Rega Planar 3 with a Elys II cartridge.
I have formerly owned a Rega 3-24 with Elys II and a Project Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red (which I did not like at all) . Would like to try something different, but can live with the above brands depending on their overall performance
Need recommendations for turntable/cartridge new or used combo that punches far above its price of $1100. Thank you
