I have a Rega RP1 turntable that I got as an entrypoint into the wonderful world of vinyl. Now (not surprisingly) I'm hooked, and trying to figure out how to make it better.
I have a couple of options at this point, as I see it.
#1 Upgrade the RP1. I could easily spend $600 (if not more) on the Rega performance pack and a Groove Tracer subplatter ... and that doesn't even include a particularly good stylus.
#2 Bite the bullet and just replace it with something new. I've heard great things about the MusicHall MMF 5.1, and also about the RP3 -- which one I actually get is a subject for another post ;) Obviously it's more money, but I wonder if it's overall more bang for the buck?
I'm leaning towards #2, but any thoughts from the experts would be *greatly* appreciated.
Thanks!
Ryan
