Yes as Mesch said there is a new Audio Technica table for $250.My brother bought one but I don't know if it's the same model # but it was $250. and it sounds surprisingly good with vintage AT155 cartridge and even has VTA adjustment. A very nice looking rig brand new.
Looking for not too expensive Turntable
I want a vintage turntable for a second system with a tube amplifier. I read the Pioneer PL-12 is good sounding without any jitter due to being belt drive. I can actually hear jitter. I owned a direct drive TT and it had jitter. My Garrard 401 did not have any jitter either. Suggestions? Pioneer PL-12 good?
