how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
If you are in Europe with 50hz as opposed to USA 60hz there is a Townshend elected rock with arm on e b a y uk  
Which arms share the Rega Geometry?

1st cartridge upgrade on 1st TT
£1k is a good budget for an MC. Don’t feel limited on cartridges to just Rega over VTA - either get spacers or a Ringmat with vta adjustment as they apparently go really well with the RP8. For £1k I’m sure u can get the Shelter 301 or the cheapest...
