Scheu Cello with rb250 arm for less than a grand landed from Germany. Uses same bearing as their much more expensive 80mm platter Premier model. Excellent motor and good cosmetics. this is not a kit as is the following table, though.
Got to agree with the Technics SL-1200 with KAB modded tonearm recommendation. Found a nice one used. Easy to setup, but has refined features. Am using a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge. Added a Hagerman Cornet phono stage. Have less than a grand into this total. Sounds fantastic. Yes I have heard Music Hall tables as well as Regas. Have also heard a tweaked Teres. The Technics does a great job and competes easily with the Music Halls and Regas.
Scheu, Teres, Nottingham from the commercial offerings, new or used. Lenco resto with custom plinth if you want to spend a LOT less money and get your hands dirty. see the "Building high-end tables...." thread.
