When you get a TT you are not just getting a TT. You are getting a lot of baggage: [i] Cartridges; [ii] Phonostages; [iii] Another cable or two (and you really do have to get a quality cable as the signal is about a 1000th of a line stage signal); Tricky setup including [iv] think minimising vibration, [v] getting a 100% level platform, [vi] setting azimuth, [vi] setting VTA, [vii] setting overhang, [viii] setting tracking force; [ix] Expensive LPs, [x] Vinyl cleaning, [xi] Stylus cleaning.
I know all about it I have 3 TTS. But if you want to give it a go then a Technics 1200G (or that family) is the way to go. In one shot you are getting a superlative TT, and your setup issues will be far less. Another truly fabulous advantage is just dropping the needle. Almost impossible to screw up.
