What is the best semi automatic TT around 1000$

I have seen several dual 5000's lately going for around that price. I was wondering if you could change the tonearm, or if you are stuck with the arm that comes with the TT. Thanks for the responses so far, and others please chime in. I really need the arm to lift at the end because several people use my table. I was thinking of going direct- drive.

Occasionally you'll see a Yamaha YP-701 for sale here; they sell for well under $1000 and the tonearm is better than any Dual, old or new.

Jump on one if you can.

Has anyone ever used a thorens 145. I have Heard they have a return function, and I could possibly use a better tonearm?

the 147 has a nice arm and great build, and the auto lift and shut off is the greatest.

I like the Yamaha PX-2.
