VPI or Pro-ject


Hi
I'm looking at getting a new turntable and considering either a Pro-ject or VPI.
I had a Rega P3 and just sold it.

I'm looking at possibly the VPI Prime or Pro-ject Extension 10.
I use a Devialet 200 for the rest of the duties.

I'm no expert in turntables so I'm seeking advice. I'm open to other models in either of these two brands but those examples are about how much I want to spend.

Advice please, thanks, Bill

Holding value is only important if this is a temporary stepping stone to a better table in the future.

Both the VPI Prime and Project Extension are both very good tables.  You should listen in your system in your room with the cartridge you intend to use. 

I typically recommend VPI, but in this case, you should try both. 
For a cartridge, you could take a hard look at an AT OC9/II.  It needs careful set-up and a good phono stage, but will reward the listener far beyond it's price.  I attribute the criticism for the OC9/II to poor set-up or a poor phono stage match up.
