Ah. I see you want to try before you buy, but cannot. I haven't heard that Clearaudio turntable so can't help. I hope others here may.

Right now I have a Rega Planar 8 in view. I would put my Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. What do you think?

Although I admire the 8 and 10, I stopped at the Rega P3-24 which I still have. It depends on your preferences, particularly the ideal sound you are after from records.

Hi! I've been using a Clearaudio Performance DC with the clarify tonearm for 5 years now. I really love the Clearaudio turntable; solid engineering, manufacturing and performance. Too bad the price keep going up!! My turntable is dead silent, the wow and flutter are really low. I would summarize the sound signature in two words : neutral and detailed. I don't know about the performance se, but I think it is the predecessor to the current Performance DC.

Hope it helps!

Many thanks to you, I'll think about it, in the meantime I've already set my sights on a good used VPI Scout. I hear good things about it but I don't know it.
