in my opinion i really think that the raga p3 is a waste of hard to come by cash! yes i know i will be nailed to the cross by some of you guys but i think after all the hype i have heard about these tables i finally bought one and i must say my marantz 6300 sounds better then the raga 3. i find there motor`s with the little rubber band to hold it in place to be a joke! and all the inexspensive plastic parts really cheap looking. after spending over a $1000 canadian i would say any $200 turntable will sound the same and probley give you less problems down the road. save your money don`t waist it like i did. by the way i sold the raga 3 to the first person with $450. no i did not want to lose money but i do not think it was worth anymore then that and i did not want someone else to make the mistake i did.

Product Weakness:	electric motor with rubber band. glass platter is too heavy for that small belt. plastic parts are cheaply made. this table should not sell for anymore then $400 to $500 top`s and thats on the high side.
Product Strengths:	there is none. looks cheap!
