Which low cost turntable should I choose ?


I have recently built a valve amp and speakers
World audio design KEL84 (15 watts output)
IPL M3TL Transmission line speakers.

The system sounds good, but I now want to add a turntable so I can solve the vinyl versus CD question for myself.

I want to add a low cost (2nd hand) turntable, but have read so many different articles, I now don't know which way to turn.

From my reading, I favour either a Michell Focus One or Systemdek IIX/900 but cannot find any direct comparisons.

My budget is approx £200 (give or take).

Any other ideas, please advise !...

Many thanks,
layton

So, Francisco, why would you advise Layton to eschew the purchase of a table? You have the creature. What in Layton's post makes you think that he will be less able to tolerate the foibles listed in the post link to which you link (real or imagined) than any of the rest of us? :-)
Francisco, now that I see the goal is to "solve the vinyl versus CD question", I catch your drift......
DD makes any excellent point and provides a great gateway for sampling, regardless of the reason.
