Help me to choose turntable below 1600$.

Why ignore it?

Only If you want speed stability, rock-steady positions of instruments, precise timing, high dynamics and razor sharp transients. Also if you want to spend less cash to get top quality gear, not a plastic toys. The build quality of the Japanese vintage direct drive turntables (like Technics) is hard to beat with your budget. With a ctustom plinth you can use whatever tonearm you want anytime you need for upgrade in the future. For the price of the used Technics SP-20 you can't get anything close to its quality from today's products, especially the cheap belt drives. Direct Drive are very expensive to made. That’s why.

Used classic thorens, some of latest models like TD2001, 3001. And than put in a bit mor expensive cart.

If you look around for brand new, around 1600 price, than lot of tables are..just not it to justify that money, at least, that was my opinion lookjng around few years ago.
Than, if buying new, I would save a bit longer, and get a VPI prime or in that range.

Here ya go!
