@audionoobie, All good choices, unfortunately you will never really know how anything will sound until you try it in your home system. My guess is you will be happy with any of the major proven brends.
Best TT under $1k
I’m looking to get into vinyl but don’t really no where to begin. I’ve been doing ample research on what TT to buy but am seeking the opinions of the A-gon community. I’m looking to spend under a grand, $750 if I can get away with it. (new or used)
Some units that I’ve looked at online:
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB Turntable – $599
Rega Planar 2 Turntable – $675
VPI Cliffwood Turntable – $900
Rega Planar 3 Turntable – $945
Technics SL-1200MK2
Criteria in order of importance:
- Sound quality
- Must include cart
- Excellent build quality
- Upgrade-able. Usable now but can upgrade down the road.
- Easy to setup/ use/ maintain
Thanks,
Joe
