turntable recommendation

I'm thinking about reviving my albumn collection. It's been sitting there for years!

My system so far: Adcom GFA 555 amp, PS Audio 4.6 Pre-Amp, Harmon Kardon CDR-2, Meadowlark Kestel speakers. All purchased used.

Listening includes: Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin, Patti Smith, Led Zepplin, Clapton, Grateful Dead and so on.

Looking to compliment what I have- nothing too finicky or too expensive. I'd also be interested in some sort of cleaning device as that was always the big problem with vinyl for me.

THANKS!

Looks like a great match for VPI Scout.
If you want to go cheaper than probably Music Hall MMF5 will do the trick.
There are plenty of VPI HW19 junior on the used market so make your judgement
Good luck!

...the first impression was that Scout can play literally all kinds of music with no compromise to each other. This unit is engineered from more expencive VPIs and has an outstanding detail and precision.

I can realy compare Scout to my Michell Gyro SE. This system sounds faster and more forward although imaging and bass is on my Michell's side -- much better.

I listen to avant-rock, sophisticated electronics, avant-jazz and more underground kind-a stuff so I believe I've found for myself a perfect match.

I've auditioned this turntable at NYH.
