I know that the Rega guys have that "we don't need to adjust it" approach and that's fine and, of course, their tables and tonearms are well regarded...still, since pretty much everybody else allows adjustment with no negative issues when designed properly, I'll simply stick with one of those.

I would wait out for a used Dr. Feichert Volare and skip all the Regas and Marantz. Has a VTA adjustment tower which helps make precise VTA adjustments. Yes the unipivot tonearm can be a pain with VTF and Azimuth but once dialed in, sounds amazing. |
The new Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 has a lot to recommend it. All tonearm adjustments are made via set screws…including azimuth and VTA. The 10” arm has superior bearings and comes with a mass appropriate cartridge made for them by Ortofon, based on a 2M Red. Its design feature is discrete L/R coil pins with no shared ground, allowing “balanced” connection…like all MC carts. $1499.00 so in the same category. |
I'm not familiar with the Marantz 'tables, but you certainly can't go wrong with any of the Regas you mentioned at their respective price points. |
