Best turntable at $3500 used.

What would you recommend to a vinyl rookie with a budget of about $3500-4000 including table, arm, and cartridge. Thanks in advance for your replies.

There's a Kumzi/Stogi ad on Audioweb.com 03/21/00. Mike Fremer (Stereophile -Analog Conners) wrote nice things about this table. It might be something, especially with setup?

TNT is much better than Basis 2500. JMW arm is comparable/better than Graham 2. Only much more expensive Basis Debut Gold in that line is comparable/better than TNT. TNT3 / JMW 12. Unless you're a Linnie fundamentalist, nothing else used under $3500 comes close. Save up for the SDS and all should bow down before you.
