Forced to Downsize

Unfortunately we are losing our lovely rental because the owners are tearing it down. The good news is we are moving close to the beach, the bad new is that the giant setup I have now has to go because the space is pretty small. So I'm asking what is everyone favorite small footprint turntable, up to $2750 budget (used is always acceptable) including arm. Cartridge will be a Lyra Delos.

A Well Tempered Simplex is on the small side. The larger Amadeus isn't too big itself and is also within your budget

The VPI Traveler is pretty small and Positive Feedback Online gave it a very good thumbs up on a couple of reviews. One included notable similarities between the new VPI Classic 4 (two arm table) and the Traveler, both using Lyra cartridges but I think the Lyras were one and two steps above the Delos.

An Empire 208 turntable with new, solid aluminum top plinth. Very compact, beautiful and sounds superb. Put on an SME 209 and live happily ever after. the AE2008 is a ready to go example, but there are others. Here is a review

I have a home made version, and it is superb.
