suggestions for turntable set up around $6,000.

Wow! I just went to a friends house and heard a good turntable for the first time. I think it is time to take out some old albums and get a turntable. I have a Electrocompaniet cd player but the table sure sounded nice. I am looking into Shelter cartriges, and possibly a VPI turntable, and purchasing through AG will most likely be the path followed. Would like to hear some pros and cons of tables,etc. Concerns would maintance on certain cartriges, durability of all componets. I have a Atma-sphere mp1 preamp and a ma2 amp, Ralph at Atma-sphers said it is a great phono stage and should not have a problem with most mc cartriges. I JUST WANT TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME the 6k figure is not carved in stone but with all audio there must be some budget, at least for me. I also would like a table that looks as good as it sounds, all info. is really appreciated.

You may also want to check out a Redpoint table. They are very well made and have several platter options. Their turntables run around $3-$4M without arm depending on platter and model. This as the Teres competes with tables costing much more.

I have this combo and I would strongly suggest it to anyone because this is vinyl lovers dream turntable/arm/cartridge. I had a Linn LP12/Valhalla/Cirkus/Expressimo RB-250/Glider II and the Teres 255 Lacquered Rosewood/ET2/Shelter just killed it. The Teres 255 is a beautiful table and breeze to setup. You would have to spend alot more to have anything better.

This may be old news to some of you - I was looking for info on Redpoint to compare with Teres, and found that Redpoint has split, from what I can tell, they are both continuing to develop the same technology... Thom Mackris has created:

Redpoint must have "split" in some poorly conceived way, in my opinion. When I heard the Redpoints at the recent HE show in SF, I was particularly unimpressed, especially when in the context of a comparison to some of the Teres models.

It was, however, only second time I had heard to Redpoints an I suppose it should have been a setup problem. Anyone with ACTUAL listening experience that can comment further?
