It would be interesting to hear opinion from an Edwards Audio owner, but being a small brand it seems difficult.

Oh my god: is it internet a blessing or a curse? When you think you are on target, another option comes in. What about Edwards Audio tt? I've seen an EA Apprentice MK2 for a very food price. I've read it's basically a Rega P2 with some tweaks: acrylic platter, some bearing upgrade, different belt, Rega RB202 arm and Zephyr C100 cartridge (rebadged AT95). List price was 469€ but they sell it for 299€ (337 US $). Good deal?

Maybe it's not very important but for 290€ I can get a Debut Carbon DC with the same cartridge (OM10) or with a 2M Red for 330€.

The Music Hall offer makes me suspicious, because it hasn't got the cart that it's supposed to be mounted from factory. A nice local shop has some offers that look interesting: a Debut Carbon DC 2M Esprit for 375 € (430 US $) and a Rega RP3 without cart for 399€ (454 US $). A little more than I was thinking but tempting.

The dealer has just said me the cartridge is not the Music Hall Tracker (made by Goldring) but an Ortofon OM10...

I know, I know... But maybe it's an opportunity to get a decent TT for a little less money. If the MM 2.2 was any good before the arrival of the 2.3, it would continue being good (albeit maybe not as good as the new one, just cheaper).

Hi again! While waiting for the dealer to receive some new Carbons (he was out of stock), a new contender has entered the game. I've been offered a new Music Hall mmf 2.2 for 300€ (342 US $). The original list price was 446 (509 US $), so I save 146€ (166 US $). Is it worth the price? I've read it's quite similar to the Pro-jects, made in the same factory. A good deal?

Thank you for your answer!

Hello to everybody, I'm looking for counsel. I have to decide between two Pro-ject turntables: - a Debut III with its aluminium tonearm, 2M Red cartridge and acrylic plate, AC typ selec3 motor. Shiny piano black finish. - a Debut Carbon AC with its carbon tonearm, OM10 cartridge, stock plate. Only in yellow and blue (hey, I don't dislike the yellow one!) The Debut III is slighty more expensive than the Carbon, I can afford it. Both are quite inexpensive. Which one would you go for? Thank you all!
