In your price range I would recommend a used Linn Sondek in mint condition or an AR EB101 with the original arm or an aftermarket arm. These 2 tables along with the Rega tables are the most affordable these days which still sound excellent. In my experience these tables have a better sound than the massive high end tables and they are easier to move around than the massive 100 lb turntables that are billed as high end. I hope this suggestion saves u some money and frustration. I have owned many tables and time after time I come back to these 3 tables as my favorites. Let me know how it works out. Shay
