Analog under 2k?

OK, I sm just getting started putting together a new vinyl system. I started with an Audio Note Soro SE Phono, Audio Note Speakers, and all silver cabling. Now I need to get a new table. I thought it would be blasphemy to hook up the old Fisher Studio Standard to this combo, so I'm sitting here with a Music Hall cd player and no TT. I would like to keep an MM setup. If I (all of you) think there will be a real advantage to going to an MC setup, I will. Don't worry about phono pre though, I have access to an EAR 843P.

Well, let the recommendations begin!

Let us not forget Nottingham tables,new and used. Twl, putting $200 arm on a $1700 table is close to nonsense unless the man is planning to upgrade soon.Much better than the other way around though.

$820 arm on $3700 table is not the same as $200 arm on $1700 table.If he does that he'll want to upgrade to Origin Silver arm very soon.If not,then he does not need $1700 table anyway.I still think that not much used Nottingham Spacedeck with Spacearm would be a better and much more balanced choice; and Interspace deck/arm probably too. Rega is Rega,don't expect much unless you replace just about every part of it,and even after that.I would also consider new Nottingham Horizon with Origin Silver arm,both new, though I have not heard this combination and not sure if you can buy this table without that Rega arm.Personaly, I would not be operating with $2000 for the analog set-up if I wanted to buy new; it is either too much or too little.$2500-$3000.Better save on something else,really.
