Audioslave is right. Goldring GR1 and NAD533 sport the same plinth, platter, platter bearing specifications, tonearm and cartridge. Both tables use a rebagged rega rb250 tonearm. For plinth construction, no difference at all since both use same specifications and materials. Basically it's a rega P2 in grey color.
But if you're looking at best value, get the Goldring (mas mura) as you'll also be getting the same sound as NAD and Rega P2. For looks and "bragging rights" get the rega P2. Soundwise, iisa lang tunog nun tatlo. But i doubt if you'll be able to get a bnew Rega P2, rega already ceased production of it's P2 model but still continues to manufacture rb250 tone arms as oem parts for other turntable manufacturers.
But, if you're just into trying out analog, i would suggest that you get a decent "bang for the buck" 2nd hand table first. Say a Technics SL1200 which would fetch for around 8K to 10K. Either way you won't end-up at the losing end. Pag di mo type ang analog, you can easily sell the 1200 at a respectable price. Or it may go the other way around, still sell the 1200 and upgrade to bnew turntable, say a Rega P3, Project Perspective
