The best TT system for under 30K

My humble apology if the wonderful gentlemen here are dumbfounded by what happened above. That wasn’t my intention at all and I actually regret responding to that person not worth my time. I hope this thread can continue with many more informative posts for many other members information that might be in the same situation as me. Peace ✌️ 

@whart @terry9 @lalitk and many other I cannot mention here, in the spirit of more positive posts here is my choice for cartridge which the dealer have on stock:

- Miyajima Kansui it is what currently fitted and the dealer is willing to sell that to me at 60% discount from RRP. He will even let me to bring my microscope to inspect the needle (any pointers on how to inspect?)
- Miyajima Madake used once for a weekend long in a 2019 home audio show for 40% off RRP
- Miyajima Destiny brand new with 30% discount because I bought the whole set from him
- Linn Krystal brand new for $1300 nett

I am leaning towards the demo Kansui or the used once Madake for the keeper and Linn Krystal for me to learn with.

@uwiikz-- I too was involved in several different Internet chat groups, reflecting an array of interests. From them, I actually made a few friends in real life.
At its best, these boards serve a function beyond answering technical questions, or providing needed "how to" info -- there is a sense of shared community, a bond that exists among the members that goes beyond their common interest in a particular subject. There was a member here who recently passed away, and everyone said the same thing-- he was knowledgeable and never foolish, and never engaged in mud slinging. I think he was well loved because he was knowledgeable and always took the high road,   
As to legal claims, the Internet and the like:
I am a lawyer- I practiced in NYC for 34+ years, specializing in copyright. I had a fair amount of involvement in the Internet early on in some of the foundational cases and beyond.  I also helped a well-known board focused on Ferraris gratis because I liked the board and some of the folks who were regulars there- I will tell you there were some great people there, and some who were...well, not so great.  It could be a mosh pit sometimes. 
My best advice to you is simply to let it go and move on. Illegitimi non carborundum.

There is a dealer in NZ named Jason Parmenter who I haven't spoken with in years, but we shared some interest in the same gear. 
Stay in touch and let us know of your adventures. You can always start a new thread about cartridges, arm adjustments, etc. as you progress. 

@whart you, @terry9 , @lalitk are the reason I decided to stick around in this forum. My deepest appreciation to you folks. 

About the wonderful member who recently passed away, was it Dan (Jdandy)? I read a lot of his posts on the other forum and yes he is one hell of a guy. I cannot help feeling sad when I read through his thousands of posts, what a journey. From the old time when he still have his wife Marlene, her passing and eventually Dan’s own passing. Although I am new I cannot help feeling sad reading all about it.
