What turntable, $500 or less


Okay, so I'm thinking that I'd like to get back to vinyl. I say "back" because I used to "dj" (beat match and mix records). Anyways, I used, and liked, technics sl 1200 with ortofon cartrideges. How do these rate in the audiphile arena? What are your recommendations for a complete setup (catridge, turntable, tone arm, phono stage (never even knew about phono stages unril recently, and I still don't know much about them)? Thanks for your help!!

I might be selling my entire Pro-ject Xpression III front end that was recently serviced at a local dealer. It also includes a phono tube box II that is only a couple months old and has upgraded tubes. It also includes a speed box I. I have made some upgrade choices so email me if you are interested.
@B_limo, did you get a table? I posted my entire Pro-ject vinyl system for sale about a week ago here. Consists of a couple of Ortofon cartridges, Xpression III recently tuned up and a Pro-ject phono tube box II that is only 4 months old (2 months on factory tubes and 2 months on upgraded electro-harmonix gold tubes).
