a vintage thorens td125 mk 2 with an SME S2 **UN IMPROVED** arm fitted with a nagaoka mp 300 would be perfect. Get a mm cartridge since it has changable stylus and it does not need a 2 k phono stage. A used avid pellari or a schiit mani is perfect.
To me the most important thing is that altho they are not as good as line contact styli, ellipticals are MUCH easier to align and not as fiddly to set up. So if u want to spend more time listening to music than setting up the table stick with elliptical styli.
