Turntable Choices

Thanks all for the replies. I found one more to add to the list, a Bluenote Piccolo with Villa Borghese Tonearm. From what little I've read it seems to be a pretty good rig.

Thanks all for the replies. I suppose I should have included my setup as that would probably affect the choices.

McIntosh C39
McIntosh MC2155
Vandersteen 2CE
All cables ate MIT

My two cartridges are Transfiguration Spirit III & a Clearaudio Discovery.

Tonearm is a Sumiko Premier MMT (this will get replaced soon)

MC step up is a Lehmann Black Cube and a Clearaudio Phono mini.

I like the fact that my system is on the warm side. I had a Krell amp that I found too analytical. I started analyzing the music rather than tapping my foot and enjoying it. So I went back to McIntosh. The turntable I had(I have a backup as well an Ariston RD11s) was a Micro Seiki DDX1000. The Ariston has seen better days and will be retired after I get a replacement but, I think it sounds better than the Micro.

Thank you all for the very insightful responses. I ended up going with a Linn LP12. I can't wait to get it set up and give it a whirl.
