Kevin at KABUSA is a wonderful guy. He won't BS you either. He will try to win you over with technicalities. Which is ok. But, keep in mind that there is more to what reaches your ear than specifications. Look at used VPI's in your dollar range. Also, higher model Rega's. Let us know what you end up choosing.
Recommendation needed for Turntable
I'm not sure that I'm a real audiophile and am on a budget of about $1000, and would like to keep it there, for a new/used turntable. My Rega P2, bought in 1996, broke in a move last year. I'm ready to replace it.
I have about 300 CDS and about 500 lp records. I listen to the following music:
Jazz: 20%
Pop/Rock: 50%;
Folk/Acoustic Blues: 20%; and
Classical: 10%.
My system is as follows:
Integrated amp: Creek 5350se, with se MM phono board; Loudspeakers: Totem Arros; and
CD player: Rotel RCD-1072.
I would greatly appreciate some recommendations for a turntable. I honestly was probably ready for a slight upgrade on my Rega P2 when it broke. I have no preference for new or used, as long as it is well built.
I haven't auditioned any equipment in so long and I don't keep up on what's new anymore, so I kind of feel lost. I thought about picking up a 70s Thorens TT and starting there. Then I thought about buying a P3. Now I'm truly lost! Please help. Thanks much to community. I appreciate your time and sharing your thoughts and experiences.
