I like my Elys cart but I have been told the Dynavector will be more quiet, won't reveal as much surface noise.

My opinion is if anyone had problems with a Rega turntable they either didn't set it up properly in the beginning or tried to modify it unsuccessfully.

You can take a look at www.amusicdirect.com they have several brands of turntables, carts and accessories for you to get an idea of what's out there and for how much.

My eight or nine year old Rega Planar 2 has been completely reliable. I agree with Mr. Peabody that if they had problems it is most likely user error. I have been thinking about a Dynavector 10x5 for my table. I owned a 10x2 years ago but I have been fairly happy with the Ortofon OM 20. My vote would be for the Rega P3.
