I have seen good reviews on the Pro-Ject line of inexpensive tables. They definitely looks like cost-effective solutions. You might also do some research to score a pre-owned Denon or Sony Direct Drive table. A neighbor has the Denon with a Zu cartridge that sounds amazing.
I've heard the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC. It surprised me that so much musical value could be extracted by a $399 turntable. You can do a no-brainer upgrade by swapping in an Ortofon 2M Blue nude elliptical stylus. No need for readjustment or realignment that way.
