Help me find a Simple Hi End Turntable

I agree, if you don't want to set it up, get the help of a dealer or friendly 'phile who KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING (this goes for the dealer, too).

No TT rig is infallible and will need to be set up at some point, even if it's just a simple adjustment of tracking force and anti-skate.

Best of luck!

If you do try to set it up yourself remember that the wires to the cartridge are extremely fragile and it is very easy to pull a wire out of the arm tube as well as to pull off a little metal clamp that attaches to the cartridge. The fact that many modern arms have affixed headshells only makes this more difficult.

Buying a new table from a dealer makes sense for an inexperienced person given the price of cartridges that are considered excellent.

Thanks to all for taking time to offer advice!
I initially had thought the Rega P25 might be a good choice.
I will use all this info to help get a new table in the next
couple of months. I have a good amount of import LPs from
the 1970's that are in near mint condition,record and cover;
all have had plastic outer sleeves for 30 years and look
sweet...Japanese pressings of Genesis "the Lamb..", Yes
"the Yes Album", Floyd "Dark Side",and more, tons of Living Stereo LSCs, lots of fun stuff.

My local shop is a stretch for setup...small shop, don't really sell much in way of TTs (VERY basics only),No repair shop in house, thus no "tech".

Thanks again...you ALL are a super resource to have at hand;
I will have a followup TT question soon, I"m sure.
Take care!
