TT upgrade


I currently have a Pro-ject Xpression TT with a Grado Gold. I'm looking to upgrade. I like a more laid back sound, listen to blues and folk mostly. My phono stage is a Bottlehead Seduction going into a Primaluna PL2. After much googling, searching the usual sites i have come down to these tables.

I would prefer to keep it under $900 but .....

1. VPI HW-19 jr or IV depends on whats out there and $$. Seen them from $500-1250

2. Thorens TD -125. $500-850

3. Sota again depends on price

4. VPI Scout a bit over my price range a few sold here for around $1200

I know buying used there are a number of variables like the arm, dustcover, etc.

I did buy a HW-19 jr but the guy wrapped it in bubble wrap and stuck it in a box with styrofoam peanuts and well you can imagine the shape it arrived in. I always take photos as i open boxes of audio gear. His loss not mine, but i really liked the solid feel of it and the look.

So at the risk of asking for opinions.........:)
