I think the TW Acustic GT may be north of 10K. The Brinkmann Spyder is a nice table…. I heard it last year, with a Reed arm. But definitely north of 10K. Pear Audio and Kuzma have offerings within OP's stated $ range. The Raven 1 with an Ortofon arm may be within budget…..
Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K
I am getting into this hobby and am now focused on a proper turntable to support my new amp and speakers (Voxative 211 Integrated and 9.87 speakers). I also bought a new Parasound JC3+ phono stage. While at RMAF this year I did listen to the Fern & Roby turntable and was very impressed. It sounded awesome with the Voxativ equipment. That being said, it would be $8K+ and I thought I should learn a little more about what to look for in a turntable and ask the community for alternatives. Thank you in advance.

A lot of great advice here. I would suggest also to read some reviews (like the one below in the link) just to solidify what to look for - not necessarily to pursue the TTs in the review. I personally had a Kuzma TT which I loved, have a VPI Prime now and a Micro Seiki BL 99V with SAEC arm and Lyra Lydian Beta cartridge (and a ton of other much less expensive tables). The VPI is running with Shindo Aurieges and Auditorium Hommage SUT, with Ortofon Cadenza Black. Really nice sound. http://www.dagogo.com/category/analog-sources/turn-tables |
