Turntable Advice

Needing a turntable for system I'm putting together. Speakers are my old DQ-10's , picked up Adcom's GFA 565 mono amps and a ARC 16 preamp (has phono stage)

Budget is $500 to $750 range. New or used ok with me.....any ideas?

Thanks

Yes, an idea. I would suggest waiting a little longer to be able to at least double the funds. You might get lucky and get a decent vintage, but it's a big gamble. It also depends on how good a sound you want to achieve.

Go with a moving magnet cartridge because the arc phono stage will be happier with higher output level cart and it will fit your budget better. Cheers,

anything with VPI on it.  Great service, excellent products no matter the price level.

VPI +1 ! You should be able to get a nice HW 19 with an arm within your budget. They are built like a tank and spare parts are always available. Check here and Ebay !
