Help with TT for my System

Hello, and thank you in advance for your time and sharing your expertise: my system is a VAC Phi 200 in two - channel mode, and a VAC Standard preampsifier, which I found used and sent it to the factory to have an MC phono preamp added to it. According to Kevin Hayes, he fitted the best MC preamp he had ever included in one of these with an output of around 0.35mu. I also own a near new Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge, and my speakers are a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions. My connections are a totally different subject. I would like to spend around $4K  or less on a used or new turntable, with ease of operation due to my age. All the best, Ken

@ckenr You have a Cartridge, which created a situation where the Tonearm that is recognised as very good partnering with the Cartridge can be looked into.

The Tonearm might cost you between $1K - $2.5K depending on New or Used Model.

A TT to suit the Tonearm will not be a real challenge to find one, and need not be silly expensive to supply a very good Musical Experience.

Forum Member @mulveling is more than qualified to comment on the C' Bronze, and has quite an experience with TT's and Possibly Tonearms.

In the UK a VAC Amp is very rarely found in use, and within my local HiFi Group there is a VAC Phi Beta 110i and VAC 170i.
