Second the SOTA recommendation - especially in this price range you're looking at a nice Nova VI or Cosmos. Get it in an exotic wood of your choice and you'll love it for life.
Turntable recommendations
Looking to upgrade my Marantz tt51 built by clear audio. Thought I have been very happy with it other than the cartridge getting bent. Which I replaced with a Soundsmith Mimic Star. I am looking to make my final tt purchase and want to make sure I get a significant upgrade to justify the money spent. $ range 4-9000 ish inc to earn. I know it’s a big spread, and prefer not spend more than I need to to make my final jump, though I don’t want to box myself in at a too low of price point and I really want to be satisfied. My current gear, primaLuna hp premium integrated amp, focal Electra 1028 Be, Luxman D-n150., soundsmith mk II phono stage. It wasn’t until I added the CD player in almost Gave up on cd’s made me realize I believe there could be improvement on tt. Any help would be appreciated. Anyone know about Vertere?

Luxman Direct Drive turntables are very nice, try to find a MINT PD-444 for under $4000 and i doubt you will need another turntable. I have two of them and many others, Luxman is the best for me, read more. Here is mine. Regarding something new: SP-10R |
