Here's what I posted on audioreview. Maybe others have input.
I'm not looking to spend more than $200 to $300. I like the idea of the Rega P3 but not ready to spend that kind of coin yet. I have a couple of questions and requests for opinions on choices.
1) Curved arm vs. straight arm. I've seen some mention of this on various threads but what difference does it make?
2) As a starter TT, what difference does it really make if I get a DJ table?
3) Any thoughts on the list of TT's below?
Stanton STR8-30 Direct Drive Turntable
Pro-Ject Debut III w/ ORTOFON OM-5 MM CARTRIDGE
Music Hall- MMF-2.1 Turntable w/ Tracker MM cart
Music Hall Goldring GR-1 Turntable with RB-250 arm and Electra Phono Cartridge
4) I know the Stanton is the half the cost of the others, but am I really going to notice that big of a difference as a newbie?
5) Can someone explain the differences btw the MMF2.1 and GR-1?
