Want to spend $2K on a new table? Go buy one second hand that cost the owner $4k when he bought it. Most owners of tables in that category are very careful with them and they are usually in great condition (Technics perhaps accepted).
Forever turntable under $2000
In search of: forever turntable.
I'm currently looking to upgrade from my existing Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 to a table that I will (hopefully) never grow out of. I'm looking for something that is *technically* competent, something where I know the engineering is extremely solid and "timeless," and provides a good analog platform to swap carts with. My budget for this is $1600 with cart (but up to $2000 if there's a good case for it). The rest of my system is as follows:
* LSA 2.1 Statement speakers
* Schiit Gumby DAC
* Schiit Freya preamp
* Adcom GFA555 power amp
* Schiit Mani phono stage
So far, I have looked into the Rega P6 (or a used RP6), a Clearaudio Concept, a variety of Pro-Ject offerings, and a Michell Technodec... but at this level there are so many choices, its hard to know where to start. Any ideas? Thanks!
