Now i'm in the process of finding my first turntable and cart. The budget is max $600 for both. I never had any experience with turntables so i'm a complete noob in this area. Any advice would be most helpful. My other components are the Rega Brio3 integrated (MM/MC high output) and Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers connected with Supra Ply 3.4S speaker cable. I listen to blues, jazz, rock and classic music. Thank you all in advance! |

Going easier on the wallet, A Rega P2 with the treatment of the outboad power supply is pretty good if had for a good buck. Once you get the bug, it bites hard man. |

I got my Rega P3 from a dealer where it was a store demo unit which saved me money. |
