You might get more replies if this was posted in the Turntable and LP subforum ..... however since it is here.

I am wondering why, if you intended going down the vinyl route, you bought the NAD? Whatever, at least this way you have access to a choice of phono stages

The turntables are pretty much a case of which one do you like the look of. I'd suggest you get whichever you can get cheapest. (Having said that my money would be on the Project). There are quite a few cheap (and sometimes nasty) phon stages that come within your budget but I'd suggest the Project PhonoBox MM.

I`ll repost this at the right place.

I bought the NAD cause i demo it with the zensors and i loved it! The cheapest is the rp1 ,i don`t have prob. with the looks i like them both.

Thank you !

you can't go wrong with either, but you should audition both. And I'll make it easier on you by saying that to level the field, you should chose between the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon III and the Rega RP1 Performance Pack - which will bring them to the same price range.

For phono stage, you can't go wrong with NAD's own PP4, Rega Fono Mini A2d or Rega Fono MM mk2, or Musical Fidelity V-LPS II or V90 LPS.
