At this price point, turntables are as alike as peas in a pod, in my opinion. So just pick out a nice looking one that has one feature or another that particularly appeals to you, made by a good company, and you will be happy until you come down with audiophilia nervosa. It has happened to all of us. Audio Technica is a giant in the small audio industry and certainly ranks among the "good companies". Nothing wrong with OL, either, but $1800 is also well above your price range, so their turntable at that cost dang well ought to be a bit better.
Turntable question; Does Audio Technica make any good turntables?
In the $500 to $1000 range does Audio Technica make any good turntables, either belt drive or direct drive? Compared to say Pro-Ject, Fluance, Rega, Music Hall, Technics, etc.
