RE: Help on TT upgrade

I would heartily recommend a Technics SP-15 or similar model. I acquired a SP-15 from the local radio station about five years ago, for free. It required some minor repair, but nothing serious. I fabricated a plinth for it and added a Jelco tonearm.

It is without question an exceptionally fine turntable. Rock solid quartz-locked speed stability, and no discernable wow/flutter or rumble. As a three speed, it excels in spinning 78s as well as 45s/LPs. The plus/minus 10% variable pitch control with digital readout also makes it superb for playing historic discs, from the acoustic era.

Sorry, I can't comment or compare to a Rega P3 because I've never owned one nor is it likely I ever will.
