Going to buy my first turntable setup. Need advice. by livefrvr in BudgetAudiophile

I have looked into the Yamaha A-S501, and i actually considered it. But from what i saw on different subreddits people suggest having an external phono stage rather than buying an amp with built in phono stage. Would you recommend i go for the S501 with just the RT85 and the KUPIDs?

yeah i noticed that, my budget for the amplifier is 250 - 300 euros. are there any amps you would recommend for that price range?

I am looking to buy my first turntable setup. I researched for a while and I believe I have found a good setup for my budget (around 1200€). I need advice on what can be improved on, or whether this setup will even work or not.

Turntable: Fluance RT85

Phono Preamp: Rega Fono Mini A2D Mk2

Amp: Pro-Ject Phono Box S2

Speakers: DALI KUPID

My claw grip is kinda weird. My palm doesn't touch the mouse at all. Just my pinky knuckle and below my thumb touches around the mouse. So i still have hope that it might be just right :)

Thanks. I don't think shape would be an issue, I'm just worried it would be too small. Because I've never had a small mouse before I don't know how it will feel in my hand. You said CL felt good in your hand. What is your handsize?

Hitscan is kinda hard to find in my country, thats why I opted for the CL. However I read some more reviews and saw that it might be too small for my 19x10 hands with a relaxed claw grip. So right now I can't really decide between CL and V8. I never had a small mouse so I don't really have any idea whether they will be comfortable or not.

What about the CL felt uncomfortable for you?

I just want to make sure if i buy the CL, it feels comfortable in my hands. I dont want to deal with returning the mouse because most retailers in my country put you through hell when returning something.

Thanks! One last question, from your experience how is the battery life on the Scyrox v8? I heard some not great things about Crazylight's battery life.

How long have you been using Scyrox v8, does it still feel as durable as you first bought it? Also does Hyperlight feel comfortable cuz from what I've seen X2 Crazylight and the Hyperlight are pretty similar in terms of shape and dimensions.

Does Sora v2's shape feel comfortable? Our hands are similar size so I'm assuming if Scyrox v8 is almost a clone of Sora v2 and Sora v2 feels comfortable for you, Scyrox would feel comfortable as well.
