Time for a new deck

So for the past few years, I've been buying used decks here and there to get slightly better sound, and never being satisfied, and am FINALLY ready to bite the bullet and get something that I can live with for a while.

I've looked at a handful, and the ones that interest me most are the SOTA Moonbeam, VIP's new Traveler, And Rega RP 3. My budget is going to be roughly 700-1000 USD.

Any thoughts on these or any other suggestions??

I agree with Sebrof. Find yourself a Concept used for about $1000 and you will not be disappointed. Even if you have to pay $1500 for a new one it is well worth the price and is in my opinion the best value in a "deck" under $2000. You can upgrade the cartridge over the years as well.

Another thing to strongly consider is buying a really good phono preamp. You will never get that great sound you are seeking without the benefit of a good preamp.
