burdenx Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The general consensus will be to save another $100 and buy a Rega P1 or Pro-ject Debut III. Or maybe you can find one used on Craigslist in your price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateleeg Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah the debut III definately looks sweet for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'd actually recommend the new Rega RP1 which replaced the P1 late this year. It got rid of the compressed wood platter that many complain about on both the P1 and Debut III and improved the design with a new resin platter. I believe it also features a better tonearm. Considering that it's only $49 more than the old P1 and the current Debut III, I'd say the RP1 makes Rega the clear winner of the Rega/Pro-Ject budget audiophile turntable debate.

nateleeg Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah I have to agree with you there, I like the RP1 more aesthetically as well. I really like the simplicity of these 2 players but at same time I'm a little worried about having to physically change the speed from 33 to 45. Im guessing it cant be all that bad considering the qaulity of turntable you get for the price but its just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partysmasher Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 i wouldn't worry about changing from 33 to 45 manually, it takes seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
