Thinking of selling my Rega RP 6 w Exact II for a VPI - Prime Scout Turntable with JMW 3D Tonearm Armwand (9") with Maybe a GRADO LABS Grado - Reference Sonata 2 Cartridge.
Edit; seems if I want a Grado I’ll need to go to this as my C220 only does MM, GRADO LABS Grado - Reference 2 MM Phono Cartridge***, big jump in $$$$ so I’ll most likely seek something a little more reasonable!
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What do you want for that Rega? 😉😁 Thinking 1,500.00, Exact II factory installed and not a blemish on it. Includes original box all packaging and TT-PSU. When not in use I’ve always had a cover over the lid and all.

When not in use I’ve always had a cover over the lid and all. Sounds fair. Don't wait on me but I will give it some thought. I'm swamped with issues right now. This week is quite possibly the most important of my life. Coming here is just a nice distraction. But I do want a good turntable, and I know you take loving care of your stuff. Would be a trustworthy used purchase. Good luck with your upgrade bug! 😀

I'm still liking the Sansui and Technics from the golden age of vinyl. There are some other good TTs from that era like Thorens, Marantz, Pioneer. The DC motors will outlast you and the specs are better than most TTs today.

If you really want something new and good specs then look at the Linn Sondec LP12

Looking at this, VPI - Prime Scout Turntable with JMW 3D Tonearm Armwand (9") Will need a MM cartridge recommendation.

novisnick - Any chance you have heard one of the Parasound phono preamps? I heard one at a local dealer last weekend and it seemed just great.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not sure about your Grado comment here, I think both models you mention are MM with the same output., so either would work with your C220. I have the Reference Sonata, tracks well and very smooth, not as detailed as the best MC’s, but haven’t heard anything else an a while.

I see the Rp6 with cart sells for $1700 new still at HIFIHeaven.
