Advice on buying turntable under $500


I've had a Technics SL-1300 for years, but it's starting to show its age. I have my eyes on the Fluance RT85. Anyone have experience with this model? Anyone want to dissuade me and point me in another direction?

you hardly give anyone knowledgeable any useful information to provide a recommendation
OK. I’m somewhat puzzled by what additional info you’re looking for, but I’ll try. I already have a receiver with an integrated phono amp, though I’m not averse to picking up a dedicated phono amp in the future to give it a boost. The turntable would just be for listening at home. Mostly rock, some jazz. Over 1500 LPs. What other info do you need? Receiver is a Yamaha R-300 refurbished in the last 18 months. Speakers are Cerwin-Vega LS-8 bookshelf. VERY modest setup, thus the $500 price point. Does that help?
