Excellent sound quality in a system is enough for most people with neighbours

[matthewpianist]

Rega and Project, where? Technics had to decrease a lot the building quality to produce new models,

I own 60´s, 70´s, 80´s , 90´s and two recent turntable models , all from known brands gueess which work today with perfection while others are in need of repairs no matter the brand.

The two recent ones and the 60´s and 70´s ones, which are the most advanced in technology , sound quality and no need for pre-amplifier just plugged to the phono input on different types of amplification systems, 60´s and 70´s, and yes Technics even from 1972 and still working, with only mandatory maintenance

There's an excellent Rega in my signature for a start, and the Project Debut Evo 2 is a perfectly good turntable for £600. I've owned plenty of older turntables (Pioneer, Sansui, Thorens, Technics), and I wouldn't swap my P3 for any of them.

There's an excellent Rega in my signature for a start, and the Project Debut Evo 2 is a perfectly good turntable for £600. I've owned plenty of older turntables (Pioneer, Sansui, Thorens, Technics), and I wouldn't swap my P3 for any of them.

i know well the P3 and it´s older brothers and none is good,

the last i never owned it but some of my friends bought it, the older ones none works,

and i think if you had all those turntables, can you refer one that is not better than any P3 , that will not work without new parts for 10 to 50 years or more

if they were good, in the 80´s a lot of badly built turntables were released into the market like my SL-M1 from Technics and a Pioneer PL-707 and Thorens TD2001 from the 90´s which were really good but at the end of some years had to put to work any Technics or Pioneer that i had from the 70´s,

even early 70´s and have others like Thorens , Dual, Kenwood, Revox etc. all bought by my father, the 70´s ones, that are mine ,now.

I do have a kind of standart ,i hear records because i have them , and even having a considered very good cd player only some have good sound and i compare them by noticing that the cd sounds narrow ,

and the louder is the volume the worst the sound stays and records if with a aceptable turntable sounds wider and real like real instruments being played, not a perverted version of the work done in studio even in digital studios, the record made from it sounds amazing, the cd is garbage

does your P3 sounds that good and which cartridge are you using?
