Budget Turntable


My brother-in-law is looking for a new budget turntable that will provide the best possible sound while on a tight budget. He has about 50 LPs and does not think he will be investing in others.

What I had in mind was either the Rega P3-24 (TT + RB301 + Elys 2) or the Clearaudio Emotion (TT + CMB + Satisfy + Maestro). What do you guys think?

Also, what would you suggest for a budget phono stage for these turntable combos?

Last, what about a budget external power supply (if any) for these turntable combos?

Cheaper to have them all transcribed to digital.

Rega would not be bad if you don't listen to that much. I lived with a P3 for 5 years in bliss. Had a terrible Grace 707 with it to boot (why does sumiko blue point ring a bell?). Imagine if I'd never thought of upgrading because I had the RB300. But for 50 records? Why occupy the real estate.

For me, instead of upgrading the whole thing I instead bought an SME V for $1800. This was back in the 1900's though. Still think that was the best investment I'd made in audio (everything else in my system has changed since then except the vinyl).
