Which turntable is better?

@robertq 

Save up a little more and negotiate with this guy and I bet you could get this for around $3k.  I know there are a lot of great tables and lots of people hate on Rega but they have served me very well for 20 years.  I have only had used and went 80's Planar 2, RP3, RP6, RP8, RP10, Planar 10.  I have always used other cartridges as the Rega were always too bright for me.  I have been listening to a Kiseki Purpleheart for a couple years and love it.

The turntable that is most expensive is the best at least that what the manufacture thinks. Happy spinning

Many Rega arm’s are NOT height adjustable (are any height adjustable?)

Many Rega Cartridges are only 14mm high, thus using on other TT’s will require lowering that TT’s arm as 17mm cartridge height is common/average, some are 21mm h.

ND5 is elliptical on aluminum

ND7 is fine line on aluminum

ND9 is fine line on boron, comes on Rega PL8, it’s manual does not mention arm height, and the cartridge specs do not give dimensions but

"Nd9 is not compatible with non-Rega tonearms due to its 3-point mounting system"

The AT745x microline on boron is $330, ND9 is over $800. usd. 

Anyone know the channel separation and channel balance specs of Rega Cartridges? Post a link please. Thanks

This Mitsubishi LT22 QLDD Linear Tracking looks very nice, $800 or best offer. I helped a friend with one, they are very solid, it sounds terrific, he has several headshells for MM Microline; LOMC Fitz Geyer, and Mono
