The Best Turntable for $1300 or less

All right cognoscenti, lets hear your opinions on the subject. Is it completely a subjective matter, or are there models in this price range(not including the cartridge) that can be classified as "giant killers"? Any input would be greatly appreciated--Cheers

See if you can find a used Rega 25...made on the 25th anniversary of Rega...and offering much of the upgraded features of their higher end turntables at a reasonable price. This table is also easy to set up, reliable and musical as all get out.
