Someone else recommended the Michell Orbe SE. I agree but take it to the next level with the full Pederson mod. A used Orbe with the Pederson mod kit could run as low as $4k, sounding better than tables costing much more. Pick your favorite arm. Many will work well. I use a Graham 2.2.
Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K
I am getting into this hobby and am now focused on a proper turntable to support my new amp and speakers (Voxative 211 Integrated and 9.87 speakers). I also bought a new Parasound JC3+ phono stage. While at RMAF this year I did listen to the Fern & Roby turntable and was very impressed. It sounded awesome with the Voxativ equipment. That being said, it would be $8K+ and I thought I should learn a little more about what to look for in a turntable and ask the community for alternatives. Thank you in advance.
