TT/ cartridge recommendations $1000

I recently bought a Rogue 99/88 preamp/amp combo and Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rod speakers and want to enjoy my old vinyl again. Can I get a new TT/cartridge combo that will work well with this combo for about $1000 or less ? Thanks for your recommendations.

Doug, I'm predicting that the S-Line Clavis you have in the closet will blow you out of the room! Not that the MC25 is bad...

Bigo, given your nice set-up, I'll second the used: (by descending order of $$investment) TT -> arm -> (cheapo) cartridge propositions.

Among others mentioned, Nottingham also makes nice TTs.

Ofcourse, deals like Tommy's, Leafs', or Psychic's, are great... but your musical tastes may determine what's better for you. $1,5k may require you compromise in the beginning (cartridge?) but it doesn't mean you have no chance.

Good luck!

Good move, Bigo Len! BTW, a friend has adjusted vertical tracking on the Glider a tad (a FEW degrees) forward -- says it's the correct angle... you may want to try!

Enjoy!
