Emaidel, hang on to your TT. Coming back to the Rega, don't consider the P3. P2 is the better choice. Let's put it this way. P3's arm has this spiral spring connected to a dial assembly. This actually degrade the sonic quality. JM is wise to have realised this and picked the P2. Seriously speaking, with the spring attached, I was put off listening to vinyl. CD's sounded better. And then there's this Rega's mat. Does not help matters either, everything's messed up. I'm now using a Linn mat, riding on top of a thin foam mat. I also discarded the spiral spring. Then the Rega started to sing.
I'm not trying to put you off Rega, just make a note that it may not necessarily sing out of the box, as many have expected.
Regards,
Gerard
