Entry level turntable

What would be the best entry level turntable to buy? The Rega P1, Project debut III or the Music Hall 2.2. I haven't had a turntable in years and never a good one. So I think i'd be better off with a local dealer to help with set up. In my area I have a Rega and Project dealer.

Thanks for your help.

There is a lot written about this already on A'Gon. Take a look at entry SOTA equipment in your search.

I've had a couple Pro-Jects, including the Xpression, and never cared for them. Listened to a P1 at a dealer last week, and now I want one. That being said, the P2 advice is also sound, but if you can't swing it, you can always upgrade the P1 with a glass platter and better cart.

A good TT in important but so is a really good phono pre-amp and cartridge. That's were the rubber meets the road!

One of the best entry-level deals I've ever caught for my friend was Oracle Alexandria which is a good step up even from Rega P3.
The price came out around $350 with arm/no cartridge.
The cartridge now being used is Goldring Eroica HO MC.
