You might be able to find a Gyro SE with arm for about that.
Best TT and cartridge combo used under $1500?
Please name your best vinyl recommendations on a budget constraint of $1500. Table, arm, and cartridge. Used market, in order to maximize sound yet accommodate the budget.
I've had a Marantz TT15S1 with a Benz Wood SH that I'd assembled used for $1400. They've now sold. I'm hoping to push the envelope a bit more without spending an arm and a leg.
Come on, I know you savvy used market buyers know of some absolute steals in this price range. Or do I give this board too much credit?

Interesting that AT cartridges came up. I"m still mourning the discontinuation of the AT33PTG model. The AT33EV seems to be the replacement, but with a "nude elliptical" instead of line contact stylus. http://www.jr.com/audio-technica/pe/AT_AT33EV/ http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/audiotechnica_at33ev.htm I never could get the high end of the AT-150mlx to settle in. I think my preference would be for an MC if you have the equipment for it. |
The Gyro SE is a current Michell model, though the basic design has probably not changed in decades. http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk/gyrodec_orbe_turntable.html I have that BAT phono board as well. It's a really excellent phono board and can probably handle anything. |
