All the suggestions made so far are good ones. As one from the "prefer used" camp, I can heartily recommend a used Technics SP-10 MK II for which you'd then have to build a base and supply an arm and cartridge. That's what I've done. For these I'd recommend the Origin Live OEM Rega RB250 with structural mods and either the Clearaudio Aurum Beta or the Reson Reca. If you can find a full SL-1000 MKII, then you only need to get a cartridge. Any of these combos should be under a grand. Good luck and happy listening! Joel.
