Refurbished SOTA Nova, refurbished Star, or a new Sapphire are all in that $3K-ish range, but you do have to add an arm. Greatly musical tables that I think are a good value proposition in that range; too often overlooked these days.
I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000
I had a reconditioned Thorens TD-160 Super. I'd like to know from people who own them, What you recommend looking at? My focus is less than $3,000 but I'm in like with some of the old VPI Classics, Prime, Prime Signatures which is why I say 3-5K in the title and am looking for recommendations on anything in this range? Make and model.
