You should also consider something vintage. I love the old DD luxmans and belt drive Thorens. You can get a table/arm for under $300. I have had many high and low price tables/arms in my systems over the years and I've found they all sound good. Not any one of them is any better than the next---only different. Belt drives are more for soundstage lovers, DD for pitch stabity.
Turntable Choices
I'm considering buying a turntable, and the one's i have become most interested in (in my price range anyway) are the music hall mmf-9 and the vpi aries scout w/ jmw-9 tonearm. The are both highly regarded, and the music hall is a couple hundred buck less, but I like the looks of the Vpi. Anyway, which one would you choose ? If you wouldn't mind, tell me why also.
Thanks alot,
