I third the VPI and would laugh at or ignore anyway who calls it entry level. It's one of the most popular in its price range for a reason. I use mine with the Dyna karat (mkII something). It's great and if you HAVE to spend $3k there are plenty of upgrades, or use it for the phono preamp. Lots of ways to burn money as an audiophile.
Best value table/arm/cart combo?
In a recent thread there was almost a concensus that the best way to assemble a quality analog set-up is to start with the table, preferably one that allows the greatest flexibility of tonearms, followed by a tonearm that worked with the greatest number of cartridges.
Being new to vinyl, and trying to stay within a $3k budget I'm looking for suggestions on the table/arm/cartridge combos that would meet these requirements while providing the best possible sonics for the money. I'm interested in buying used on Agon.
Thanks for your suggestions.
