Turntable options


Looking for a table in th 10k range with arm and cart. Could stretch the budget to 15k if worth the extra $’s. I’ve considered, Clearaudio innovation or ovation with Koetsu Black Cart and universal 12 arm/ Brinkmann Bardo with Pi cart or AMG Giro. 

All insight and options welcomed. It’s fun to evaluate, but not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze. I’m also interested in recomendations for table platform form vibration. 

Thanks

 Many cartridges and TT/arms have been mentioned here. Please get a TT/arm and cartridge that work together for Resonance.
Combine a stiff arm with a compliant cartridge. 
Combine a
compliant arm with a non-compliant cartridge....
guessing that’s why @Mulveling’s carbon arm and Koetsu cart combination was poor. The carbon arm is very stiff, the Koetsu is not very compliant. Look to vinylengine.com in your research.  They speak to compliance’s of both arms and carts. Take the time to run the numbers through the formula to get to your arm/cart Resonance.  You’re talking serious $$$...research so you don’t lose any.  Used cartridges at this cost are are a hard sell from what I’ve heard here on A’gon.
