You can buy new for a used price at www.stoneaudio.co.uk. they cary Michell turntables that are extreamly musical.
New Basis 2000 with RB/300 for basis.
If you plan to place cartridge inside $2500 budget, you should probably get Benz Glider 2 series(low out version) or Dynavector 20Xl. If you order it from Hong Kong(you can also win it on ebay from Hong Kong dealer) you'll save a couple. I hate to buy used cartridges and even if I buy used cartdridges I come only in person to pick it up with my pocket microscope to check cantilever and the stylus.
