Actually, now that I think of it, I had an Ortofon MC3 Turbo for years. It’s quite excellent. Detailed, lively, and neutral. It doesn’t get much coverage anymore but it’s not expensive and sounds wonderful on all types of music.

Kate Bush - Never For Ever (1980 EMI) 
Chemically Altered Audio
If you have samples and need critical but open-minded testers...  
Kate Bush Mastered for Vinyl 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I compared Army Dreamers and Breathing on the UK 1980 Never For Ever album with the 1986 (digital?) compilation The Whole Story. The original is far better. We have lost so much with remastering and/or generational copying.

Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range?
@rego Don’t you mean the GR? The G is $4k. Even if OP gets the 1500, he/she will be wanting/regretting not getting the GR.
