| What turntable in the $2500 range? I’ve used a Sumiko Blue Point Evo 3 and a Soundsmith Carmen 2. With the Carmen I had to add a weight to the top of the head shell available for about $5 on EBay. The Sumiko was excellent maybe more top end but overall the Soundsmith was smoother ... | |
| What turntable in the $2500 range? When I was upgrading about 11 years ago I went used with a VPI Aries Scout that’s still going strong. If you’re not bothered with the non removable head shell Vpi makes great tt. I would use the money saved on a used table to buy a better cartrid... | |
