What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile?


After many years of ignoring my vinyl, I have decided to wade back into the audiophile pool. I am looking at the Thorens TD-160 s well as the TD-126 MK III but have also seen a Luxman PD121 and PD272. I'm only doing this once, maybe there is something better out there??? If not, what should I pay for the units above?? Help!
Many thx.

I have heard alot of good thngs about the Technics SL1200's modified by KAB or Origin Live. You can pick up a TT cheap, and upgrade it until you your heart's content.
If you want a new one, Pro Ject is offering their Debut for $400. Its a brand new design and replaces the III. It omes with a Ortofon 2M Red, which is very good. You cant go wrong with this. I would rec this over all vintage TTs in the same price. Check it out!
Check out the $400 Pro-Ject Debut Carbon at Needledoctor.com. Google for reviews.
