VPI.
You can buy one with arm & cartridge all ready set up (which is what I did). When it gets to your house it takes about 90 seconds to drop the arm in place, add a bit of oil & plug the arm in.
I've gotten comfy with tweaking and replacing cartridges & etc. on mine now. Else when I bought a new cartridge I could just unplug and lift off the arm & ship it to my cartridge supplier for mounting.
Someone mentioned Nottingham, I thought my Space deck sounded great, but I absolutely hated trying to work with the Spacearm (think red faced, jumping up and down, expletive deleted, type frustration levels), that arm is now in pieces in a drawer. A Nott with somebody else's arm might be a great sounding and still user tolerable rig though.
