I wouldn't buy something that you'll want to upgrade soon. Do yourself a favor and add another 1k and buy yourself a used VPI Super Scout Master. You'll be happy for a long time to come!
What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range?
I want to take the plunge and buy a good used turntable. I don't want anything that requires a lot of tweaking or constant supervision, but I do want the highest resolving and best sound table I can buy. My range is $2500 or so but could go a bit higher if necessary. I'll buy it used so that should give me a bit more buying power.
