Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range

Hi,

I'm thinking of replacing my RP3 with an RP8. Are there any obvious alternatives in the $3000-4000 price range? I've been looking at a VPI Classic 1 (but it's not available in stores in my city so I can't try it).

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from people who have long-time experience with the RP8. Is it a keeper or have you decided to upgrade to an RP10 or something else?

fabsound- this is as good as it gets for the price. With the money saved,its worth investing in a $1K+LOMC to go along with it.

There is a Prime or 2 listed also, which is a step up.

I would offer $2k, or meet in the middle including shipping.

Consider an upper level phonostage if you haven’t already, to go with a higher performance table.
