Presently I own a VPI Prime Scout with a Benz Micro Silver MC high output plugged into the ARC SP16 preamp. I like the fast transients, low noise, wide frequency response, musical character and low distortion of the Micro Benz. I bought the Rega P3 for a second system in our living room so my family members can have a smaller less intimidating TT to use. I value above all a non fatiguing midrange with good bass reproduction. The ultimate goal would be to faithfully reproduce a symphony orchestra which is not going to happen with my budget. My hearing rolls off above 8,000 hz. Thank you for all these relevant suggestions. It is going to take some time for me to research them. My local stereo store recommends the Ortofon Bronze MR. What do you think of the AT VM 760 SLC? Thanks again!
