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

I second the SOTA reccomendation. A step up from REGA (IMHO) and definitely available used in your price range. A Sapphire is much closer to a LP12, if not superior.  They sometimes show up in your price range used.

Do SOTAs allow for VTA adjustment on the Rega arm? That's always been a deal breaker for me regarding purchasing a Rega as otherwise I do like Rega's design philosophy…VTA…gotta have it...

There is used RP6 with Incognito Rewiring Kit and a Denon 103r
the total is $1300 .  Unsure if spending $1900 is worth the difference
