Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible???


Howdy folks-

I’m really enjoying my current set up and return to 2.1 channel listening and Home Theater. Here’s what I’ve got:

-Mc402 Amp
-Anthem Mrx 520
-Oppo 103 Bdp with Scott Nixon tube dac
-Mac Mini with a Scott Nixon Usb tube dac
-Audience and Wireworld cables
-Tekton Electron speakers

I’d like to introduce vinyl to my evening listening pleasure. Any recommendations for a turntable (including arm, cartridge, etc) under $2000? Is this a reasonable figure? I have no clue when it comes to turntables so any advice given is surely appreciated.

My vote goes to a WTL Amadeus....estimate $1,250-$1,400 used. I’ve heard good things about the MFSL carts from a close source I trust. Pair that setup with a good MM phono like a Heed. I thought the Quasar was great for the money, so I would consider their lower priced Questar MM phono stage. This should keep you south of $2,500.
