So im getting a TT for christmas, it will be my first. I have collected vinyl for a while and always used my dads Garrard 401. However now im not at home much any more i need my own. I have a rough budget of £250-£300 (pretty rough for now but a good starting point).
I have very little idea about TT's so im looking to you guys for guidance. So far this is what im looking at:
Rega P1 ... Ortofon OM5e moving magnet cartridge ... Rega RB100 tonearm
Rega P2 ... the classic RB250 tonearm
Thorens TD 170-1 ... Ortofon OMB-10 phono cartridge
Pro-Ject Debut Mk3 Esprit ... Ortofon Alpha Cartridge
Pro-Ject 1 Xpression Mk3 ... Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge
Obviously there is a price range there, will i notice a difference in sound quality within such a small price range? Also, should i be looking at upgrade possibilities, are some tables more upgradeable than others?
Cheers
