Okay, my response to your question: I would say I certainly will not spend over $1000 (used). I'd be very happy to spend $500 on a good table with good cartridge...just sold on here (that would have been good for me I think) is an older wooden Acoustic Research with a 100hr-used Ortofon $250 cartridge included.
Then I saw the Basis 1400 player and liked the looks of it a lot, and realized I could go up towards the $1000 mark if the sound quality was really cuts above.
