I want to thank all who responded here. However, I just realized that I did not provide very important information. I did not provide you information regarding the kind of music I listen to.
I love classical, spiritual and jazz music. In regards to classical I love small and large scale choral works. I also listen to large scale orchestral works. I love organ music and individual works for the violin and harpsicord. When I listen to jazz I listen to Miles, Stan Kenton, Gill Evans, McCoy Tyners, Coltrane, Monk, Brubeck and one of my most favorite composer/conductors Ms. Maria Schneider and her orchestra.
I am looking for a big, wide, tall and bold analog type sound with excellent bass. Is there a turntable that can handle this variety of music without flinching that does not cost an arm and whole body? Can a used SOTA or VPI give me what I am looking for-for starters? Thanks again everyone and I find the information you provide wonderful.
