Dear @mmporsche : Price is not a precise reflect of a TT quality performance. Exist several very high price TT that can beats by a humble Rega. Range price is only for you, superior limit on your budget.
Some one posted that you have to listen as many options as you can and it's important but been a " rookie " on analog adventure you need a seller that can support to you locally and not only with the TT set up but with the tonearm and cartridge. In the other side you will learn but this kind of learning it does not takes 1-2 weeks but months/years.
So to me makes no sense to invest a very high price in the analog rig ( TT, tonearm, cartridge, IC cables. ) till you learn how to achieve the best for that expensive analog rig.
In the mean time you can learn and enjoy your 100 LPs and have fun buying hundreds of LPs.
The @sbank offer is very atractive . You say that live in Denver and things are that there is a TT manufacturer/designer: Galibier designs, his owner sometimes post here: tom_mackris.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
