I have the opportunity to acquire either of these turntables. I'm thinking I'll start with good condition used instead of committing the money on a new table. Does anyone have experience comparing these tables and can offer an opinion on quality, upgrade possibilities and overall performance preferences.
Thank You
John
Thank you for the insight and opinions Mat. I am leaning toward the Aries 3 based solely on "I like the look" and having zero experience listening to either table. It comes with a JMW 10.5 and some other upgrades. I'll post more later. I'll be purchasing a cartridge also and would appreciate any suggestions. I only have the capability to use MM at this point but may soon get a phono preamp also.
