Turntable Options

Needing a turntable for system I'm putting together.  Speakers are my old DQ-10's , picked up Adcom's GFA 565 mono amps and a ARC 16 preamp (has phono stage)

Budget is $500 to $750 range.  New or used ok with me.....any ideas? 

Thanks

You might be able to find a used VPI HW-19 Junior with an AQ or Rega arm for that budget.

The brand new Rega Planar 2 is in that price range or for just a little more, the new Rega Planar 3 is excellent.

I was a Dynavector dealer for many years.  I have owned and sold hundreds of their cartridges.  They are probably my favorite cartridge manufacturer.

I never had a problem with Dynavector service as long as it was a "legitimate" problem.  They were great with warranty issues.

Also, most cartridge manufactures have a trade-in/retip program.  Dynavector's is 20% off a new one.  The first 10X5 that you ruined should have gotten you a $130 discount on a new one.  Yeah, I know not much, but still better than paying full list.

I'm also a huge fan of Ortofon.
