AudiogoN Forums: Help with Turntable selection

Help with Turntable selection

I have narrowed my search down to 3 tables in the $1500 used range and I need help and suggestions

Marantz TT15S1.
Nottingham Space Deck.
VPI Scout.
Or ????

I have not owned a turntable for 20 years.

My last post was for a phono pre and I chose and purchased a Pass Labs Xono over a PS Audio GCPH stock.

Thanks, Greg

My first table a few years ago was the Scout with the JMW-9 arm. Right out of the box I though it sounded very flat and uninvolving and was somewhat disappointed. After a few tweeks, an isolation stand, new cartridge, Mint tractor set up, it did become a decent sounding table but it took a newby quite a while to get there.
