Rega p2, WT Classic or Pro-Ject perspective?


I have a chance at any or all of these turntables locally- the Well Tempered Classic, Pro-Ject Perspective, or Rega p2. I would rather buy locally, and it looks like the Rega is going to be the cheapest by far.

Which one would you folks recommend, and why?

It's a no brainer. The WT is the best of this bunch. That table is special, the others are just another "starter" deck. It is however a bit of an orphan brand now. The distributor, Stanalog, has been asleep at the wheel for years and I don't think the current Well Tempered company who produces the Amadeus is supporting the older models as far as parts and service are concerned.
The WT will be the most finicky of these tables. My understanding is that the paddle design of the arm is a bit trickier to set up than the current golf ball.

I used to own an Amadeus and have only good things to say about the silicon damping design of Well Tempereds.
Not to hijack the thread, but Roscoeiii I'd be very interested in your impressions of the Amadeus and what you upgraded to and what improvements it offers.
