Totally agree about the PEachtree. I've also found that the Rega needs careful matching as well - both are suited to a decent pair of bookshelf speakers (or high efficiency [i.e. 90dB+] floorstanders). Rega Brio-R sounds dynamite with PSB as their own Rega brand.
I was reading an article on prices from 1975 to now - and was struck that they said a "typical consumer grade" turntable cost the equivalent of $2000 in 2012 dollars (major details were missing like *which* TT, and what was the 1975 price, but is was an interesting assertion none the less)! I suspect that the current batch of lower priced turntables for $300-500 would be equivalent in performance. As would a $300-500 CD Player.
And ... I was remiss in not indicating a great digital source - the OPPO in its various incarnations plays just about anything - though I have yet to hear one - though I am due to a new Blu Ray player one of these days! ;)
