Dear Fpooyandeh: Well as Dan point out ( with that budget ) there are many choices.

My advise to any audio friend is to put the money where it really counts or where it " weights " for the better/more.

From here IMHO is that your choice ( main subject ) goes first for the tonearm/cartridge items where the tonearm and cartridge choice be a good match, this tonearm/cartridge match is very important on the quality performance level.

Not knowing your music preferences but knowing the quality performance of the Dynavector XV-1 I could say that this one could be my first choice: it is an almost Universal cartridge that performs very well with any kind of music and I could say that match with different tonearms, with the one that I like it a little more is the SME V/IV.

Other than the XV-1 you can try the Colibri/Condor or Lyra Skala/Titan i, of course that you can try other wonderful cartridges ( MM ones ) like Nagaoka, Grado, Reson or B&O.

About TT I second Galibier too where you not only can have a very good build/design but very good advise/support from Galibier designer in self.

Regards and enjoy the music.
