Which one do I buy Pre Ject Debut III or Rega P1??


I am looking to purchase a turntable and I am not sure which one is better sounding? I don't have a local dealer and I plan on listening ti vinyl on occasion. I have narrowed it down to Pro Ject Debute III or Rega P1 or Music Fidelity 2.2? I am only considering these turntables, so please help me decide between these three.

Thanks,
Matt

If I had to pick between the 3 you mentioned initially, I would pick Music Hall 2.2.
Rega P1 tonearm is quite cheesy.  I had a Music Hall with a 9" aluminum Project arm and it was nice though nothing special.  I had a Rega P2 once and really did not care for the build quality.  Arm was ok but everything else was sub-standard.  Switching to nice vintage Japanese decks was a huge improvement.  Think Technics 1200 1301/1401, Pioneer Pl-600, JVC QL-5/7 or the like. Check out Cryoparts for vintage upgraded decks.
