Re: Rega P3 2000 Turntables

Thanks for your very nice review. I agree with everything you say except the following. With a DV 20XH and an ARC PH5 phono stage playing through Vandersteen 5 speakers, I get a wonderfully deep and wide soundstage with great air around the instruments. Though I don't care that much about accurate imaging, I have it to a high degree. Also, I don't find it the least bit lacking in bass, but the support it sits on is all-important, as you say. I worked hard on the support.

The P3 is what brought me back to vinyl. As you have, I have compared it to TTs costing far more and have yet to have any urge to make a change. For some reason, it gets bad-mouthed a lot around here, but I think anyone who has heard it set up properly with a good cartridge in a good system would come to similar conclusions that you and I have. I will say it isn't much to look at and appear a bit on the flimsy side, but that doesn't matter to me. It's worked flawlessly for three-plus years I've had it.
