Turntable??

[mingelwood]

Like many of us, I am an audiophile on a budget and I am thiniking about taking the plunge back into vinyl. I have seen that the Rega P3 is a great "bang for your buck" table with a good tonearm. Has anyone had any experience with this piece and what cartridge would you recommend with it?
If not a Rega, what other turntable's would you guy's suggest in the less than $800 range?

Thorens have always been a good value.

Music Hall are supposed to be excellent for the money.

The trick to finding a turntable is you have to look in the right places.

A turntable is no longer considered a piece of stereo equipment so very few stereo shops sell them any more.

A turntable is now (and don't ask me why) considered a musical instrument and many fine turntables can be found in musical instrument shops and instrument dealer websites like Musician's Friend

Because DJs are the largest buyers as a group/demographic/whatever.

Try some of those "snooty" boutique audio stores. You know the kind..... the one that performs a walletectomy before you are allowed to enter the store.

Music Hall makes great tables for the money. Check out the MMF5 or MMF2.1. Both are available at the Good Guys. Or go online and get one.

Cheers,
