Upgrade from Thorens TD-125 Mk II


After returning to vinyl I liked that much that I would like to try something better then my Thorens TD-125 MK II.
But, not a Lenco project!!!

I am looking for a new or used turntable (no more then 5 years old) for no more then $1140 USD. Just the table - I already have a good tonearm.

Can I do any better then a NEW VPI Scout for $900?

Thank you

I have a Thorens TD125 MKII w/ an SME3009 w/ Grado Sig8 cartridge. I have added the following mods:
1. The Enid Lumley mod - brass cartridge screws,
2. Glued cork to underside of platter,
3. Installed Mark Levinson silver interconnect cable
And without having to spend a substantial amount have something which is rather satisfying thru my Quicksilver monos, CJ PV5 pre, and highly modified KEF 104aB speakers.
Good luck.
