Best TT for the buck?

Hello everyone, This is my first post on the website as i have just become a member. I am fairly new to hifi audio and want to get a turntable. I want the audio quality to be very good, considering my price range that is and i am not opposed at all to going the used route and may even prefer it. My budget will be no more that 600 and trying to keep that to 500. All opinions are appreciated!
Thanks for any advice or help in advance. Ive already lost several hours on the website. its very addictive

@Brownandsandy The first LP i played was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
Thats an interesting topic though, there should be a thread of what people played as their first LP. If they remember that is...

I don't really live in an area where there are any hiding electronic places to go listen to TTs. I live in MS and almost no one in the area even knows what good music is. There is a denon DP-790 in the classifieds. Is this a decent table the stats look good even though it is a direct drive.

Im really leaning toward that Denon DP-790. Do yall feel like that is a good idea? will i encounter any problems with it or will it sound bad? The guy wants 275 for it, cart and all. Is this a fair price?

Ive heard bad things from people about the debut III and i am trying to avoid it. For one it has no VTA and has a good bit of wow and flutter. I recently found an oracle alexandria for around 500 bucks but the clamp is broken. does this sound like a good deal?

Ok guys. I decided to go with a new TT. Im going to get a mmf 2.2 and eventually upgrade the cart, platter, and get a speedbox for it. It looks great too.

Hey guys, set up my turntable yesterday, and I have to say I am impressed it absolutely blows away my digital sources such as my iPhone and 90's CD player that I really didn't use anyway. I'm actually listening to it as I type this out. GOOD STUFF. Thanks for all the comments guys.
