New Turntable.


Thinking Denon DP-29F, TEAC TN-180BT-A3, Audio-Technica AT-LP70X, Crosley C100. Or used SL1300 that is very old. i will upgrade cartridge to VM95SH.

This is funny! China don't care. 

Has the Company behind Fluance not protected their property in production with a Global Patent? 

I changed my mind on Fluance. I think the Pioneer PL-30-K  for $50 more is the better TT.

I advise against that Pioneer Model

the manual

https://assets.pioneerhomeusa.com/product-manuals/PL_30K_OM.pdf?v=1684719379

says included cartridge tracks at 3.5 grams.

I use MC cartridges that track at 2.0 grams and consider that heavy, 

I prefer my MM cartridges that track at 1.25 grams

Anti-Skate is related to Tracking Force, and it is tricky, many of us think it is advantageous to track lightly

much longer stylus life

less pressure/wear to your LP's grooves, especially if something is less than ideal.

IF anti-skate is OFF, it is more than likely 'less off', than when trying to get anti-skate for a heavier tracking force.

You want new for very little expense.

I suspect you are a novice, with no TT/Tonearm/Cartridge experience, so new makes sense, your budget is too low, you cannot hear a bargain. Cheap is not a bargain.

I like Direct Drive, and mentioned the Audio Technica AT120 as my recommended starting TT

Others: New, Belt-Drive, with a decent light tracking MM cartridge ________?

Start: elliptical, upgrade the stylus to an advanced shape after ’sticking with vinyl’ is confirmed, experience gained, small LP collection on hand.

A cartridge body with an upgradable stylus requires no re-alignment, simply pull the starting stylus off of the cartridge body, insert the new stylus, factory alignment is retained.
