Which turntable is better?


 I am considering my first turntable and having difficulty deciding between Technics 1500C, Audio Technica LP8X, Music Hall Stealth, Mofi Ultradeck or Rega Planer 6. My budget is 2K to 2.5K. I understand all the diferences in these tables as far as belt drive versus direct drive and semi automatic functions etc. but wanted to know from others experiences with these? I will probably upgrade cartridge from what is supplied. I don't have to have built in phono stage as my integrated, Unison Research Unico Due has one onboard.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Still undecided. Looking at used Ultradeck at Skyfi audio. Anyone have experience with Skifi audio in New Jersey?

I'd put that into ChatGPT and add that to the mix. I'd add best sound quality and reliability. It will help differentiate.

Also seems there is no love for Audio Technica LP8X? Is there something I'm missing here?
