I might suggest checking out some semi-auto or auto lift turntables. I have read very good reviews of the new Technics 1500c. I would suggest, however, replacing either the included Ortofon 2M Red with a better cartridge or buy a stylus upgrade such as the 2M Bronze and up. That would put you somewhere between $1500 and $2000. Nothing against Regas, just really don't like manual TT's anymore due to age and laziness.
help choosing a turn table
good evening,
I will be purchasing my first turn table.. it will be for a second system using a Lyngdorf TDA 1120 combined with a pair of monitor audio gold 100 speakers . Budget is preferably < 2k and ideally < $1,500.. music to be played is likely classic rock, 80 s music, maybe some alternative.. want detailed sound that is not fatiguing .. appreciate everyone’s input thanks
