which turntable for the future?

@renatocomes , I am very weary about second hand turntables. They are too easy to damage. Forget the VPI Avenger, it is all show no go. For that kind of money I would look at the Basis Inspiration with Vacuum. It would go beautifully with your Soulution equipment.  If your wanted to spend less money but get similar performance then the Sota Cosmos is the one to get. You might however think it is too plain. 

@jafox , oh you think? You would be surprised how poorly some people take care of their equipment. Then there is the question of why they are getting rid of the unit. Most can’t pack the turntable appropriately for shipping as the packing can be frightfully complicated. You can bounce around an amplifier without damage but not a turntable. Only if you know the seller, can pick up the table and hear it in action should you consider a used turntable.

The SMEs are fine turntables but they are too expensive in this country for what they are when you have the Basis available.

For similar money as the AF V the Basis Inspiration with Vacuum is a much better turntable and it is extremely good looking. The Kuzma Stabi M is IMHO the best Kuzma and you can put any arm on it. The Schroder LT comes to mind. It is massive but not the fanciest looking table. The Avid Acutus was mentioned and it is a fine turntable. The Stabi M has the advantage of having a really nice dust cover. It has a good reflex clamping system. I prefer vacuum has it is better at flattening the record. With a good vacuum table the pitch consistency is just wonderful. You really get the feeling you are listening to a digital file but it sounds like a record.
