Opinion: Best turntable under $2000?

Rsasso - if you are in the US call Tom Hills at Hudson Audio in NJ. They are the importer and there is a tiny dealer network in the US. Go to Tom first and he can guide you on the Scheu TTs, arms, etc. and how to obtain them.

These tables are under priced IMO. They play and sound like tables costing much more.

i tend to agree with piedpiper on this one.going to get a lot of opinions on which direction to go.don't forget the used market once you do decide.good luck.

TO Piedpiper;

Yes, I am always looking for those sonic characteristics that many attribute to vacuum tubes (I set up an all tube system). You know the adjectives: warm, rich, fullness of sound, depth to soundstage, subtle...as opposed to the solid state adjectives of accurate and clean and fast, etc. My friends are often amused at this craziness of searching for "sonic characteristics"

Sasso, live music is harsh.
