Best Analog for $10K


I’ve spent considerable money and time assembling a great all-digital two-channel audio system. I want to experience vinyl reproduction. My budget is $10-12K for turntable, arm, cartridge, phono cable, and phono stage.
Two things I do not want. One is to get on a spiraling upgrade path. The second is to avoid too much fiddling and tweaking and adjusting.
I am open to used or refurbished equipment, as well as new gear.
I primarily listen to Jazz and Rock music. Very little classical.
Thoughts?

I was just at VPI Industries today.  I am impressed with the service and the people there.  Since they are made in the US I learn more towards a company that has made an excellent product and can get serviced.

That being said, some of the new TTs they are making today are better but also cheaper than the ones they made in the past.  Well made and a great bunch of people.  If you are in the NJ area, call them and stop in for an audition.  They will also help you upgrade one if you buy it used.

Happy Listening.
