My wife and I are getting back into vinyl.   We listen to a wide range of music, from alternative rock, to classical, to electronic down tempo.  We are looking at getting a new turntable, we are looking at the Rega RP3, the pro-ject RM 5.1, and the VPI traveller.  I would like to get something that we can grow into with some upgrade potential.  We are also looking at the bellari Vp130 preamp to tie it into our current receiver, which we'll be upgrading in the near future.   Reviews on all the tables seem good, anything to be wary of?  I am leaning towards the rega, pairing with the Elys mkII mm cartridge, with plans to upgrade once the rest of the system is up to snuff.  I also like the traveller but it will end up costing a few hundred more.
