Which Rega TT for my 1070's?

[benny]

I'm about to purchase my first TT for my setup and would like some advice/comments from those familiar with the Rotel 1070 series. I had pretty much decided on the Rega RP1 but now I'm wondering if the new RP3 would be a worthwhile upgrade considering the amp and pre I have. Basically, is the fidelity and phono stage of the 1070 good enough to warrant an upgrade to the RP3 from the RP1? I don't intend on replacing the pre any time soon nor will I be using a seperate phono stage. 1070's are being run to Paradigm Studio Reference 60v2's with a Paradigm sub. Any comments are appreciated...

The RP-1 with the upgrade package ($200) is considered a great TT by some reviewers who I have learned to trust first-hand.
IMHO, it would be a great match with your gear.

Just to keep from upgrading soon after intial purchase I would opt for the RP3/P3-24 equivalent. Cartridge is a big part of playback - DV20XH is my recommendation.
