Analog - Bang For Buck

I am considering getting a turntable. I'd like to get something that is really good sounding and requires little to no "fiddling" with. The choices that most stand out are something in the Rega line or the VPI Scout or Scoutmaster. I have no experience setting up a turntable, and no nobody who still owns / operates one. I'm happy to learn, but in any case would like something on the set-it-and-forget-it side of the tweaky scale.

Thanks in advance for any advice. -Kirk

For true set it and forget and good to excellent sound look to the Rega P5 (former the P25), the P7, and the P9. A used P9, if you can find one, is a good value.

Other set it and forget it: Scheu Cello with Rega RB250 arm...about a grand landed from Germany. Do a search for "scheu analogue products" and you'll find it. Excellent product.

I do not much like unipivot arms so the VPI and Nottingham are not choices for me unless they have an arm other than what vpi and nottingham supply.
