In that price range my pick would be the Technics SL-1200/1210 GR. My friend has one and it an outstanding table. It has a decent arm and all the adjustments that you would ever need in a turntable!
Top turntables under $2k
Hi there,
I've upgraded almost everything in my system save for my turntable (debut carbon dc with 2m blue). I have kef ls50 metas (sometimes I rotate my r300's in there as well) and a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II with built in MM phono stage. I've been looking at VPI, Clearaudio, MoFi and Technics but can't quite figure out which direction to go that offers good synergy. Any thoughts?
