Tables are a great source of debate.
For years, the rega offerings were affordable, solid performers without needing to have a PhD in engineering to set them up.
I have a LP12 with the old Grace 707 and with a Benz Ace cart, the results are very very good...
Don't fall into the "never buy a used table" or "performance is directly related to money spent" myths.
Synergy is what makes good music great.
My advice, get a used table that you like...build your collection up a bit and shop at a slow pace.
It is hard to get it right the first time out.
