Getting a turntable...

Hi,

Im looking at getting a turntable, and currently have my eye on this one

http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-10648-project-debut-carbon-turntable-with-ortofon-2m-red-cartridge.aspx

Thing is I then seen this one..

http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-14081-pr...rntable-with-ortofon-2m-silver-cartridge.aspx

Same thing same price but the latter has the 2m silver cartridge as opposed to the red.
Seeing how the silver is much more expensive to buy im not sure how this is right? I read somewhere that the Carbon MSL is a superfi special so I assume thats why, buy surely they should drop the price of the one with the Red cartridge?

My amp is a NAD 3130 and has a phono stage in it so Ill be trying it with that first before getting a dedicated one. I already have a fair bit of vinyl as I had some cheap decks when I was 14/15. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Sean

same deck, same price - get the one with the best cartridge

Went and got the Carbon this morning with the silver cartridge! Played about 6 albums so far without a hitch and it sounds fantastic. Would recommend to anyone and very easy to set up.
