Good morning to all members.

Considering investing in a good turntable. I am still keeping a wide budget, 800-1500 Euro.
At lower end of budget I have been able to audition
a. Rega P3 - I really loved the sound. Would love to go for the P6 but at moment it sits jat very top of budget. A tough choice.
b. Project Carbon Evo (fully upgraded around Euro 1000) or Project X1

Yesterday while browsing for options I saw an offering for an Edwards Audio (Talk Electronics) TT5 Anniversary at Euro900.
Do any members have experience with this turntable?
I read that the owner of Talk/Edwards came from Exposure UK so thought it may be descent?

Any other suggestions at this price range?
I also had a look at a Michell Tecnodec also at top of my budget. Fell in love with design. but Is price difference worth it? How does it compare with P6

Any point of comparative reference and opinion would be much appreciated!
THANKS!

Thank you for suggestion.
It is one of the models under consideration. Just the turntable though.
Already have a better digital front end and speakers....
Also have an mm/mc phono preamp.

The nice thing with project is that they have everything in terms of further upgrades.
You can change swap everything from tonearm to platter to power supply for better Project parts.

But I was also wondering what sort of a sonic benefit one gets by buying into the next tier price.
P6, Tecnodec.... and also the Edwards TT5 that sits right in between these models (Project vs Rega/Michell)
