Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible???

@trelja  I do the love the Piegas. I was able to get them for a 1/3 of their new price. I don't want to imagine a day without them. They're special, legends no doubt. Adding another fatty mac, 800 watts each, will take them to the promise land. 

The only reason I'm even thinking of any changes is because it does sound so good. With the recent introduction of my C2200 McIntosh preamp (storage for 7 years) the Piegas again evolve now more than ever with the vinyl. To sum it up. That's why. The system sounds more extraordinary than ever and I just got started in the vinyl world. Looking to see how deep the rabbit hole goes :)

The MoFi cart is fantastic in my opinion but it's my first cart.It doesn't make want anything else but I know there are so many fun options out there. Audiogon has always been a great place to get advice. Most of my current system was recommended 13 years ago from this site. 

Great questions sir!

System update!

Loving the 1200 GR and the lehmann audio black cube se ii phono pre is not too shabby for the price but am upgrading soon to the JLTi phono pre from Australia. 

Drum roll please.....

I'm a 2 turntable guy now! I just bought a minty vintage Luxman PD-444 TT from the late 70's. A 2 armed sucker too! I'll be putting on a vintage Victor UA-7045 with vintage Victor X-1lle cart to start off. 

Thanks again everyone for the great recommendations!!!

Chakster is using his Vulcan mind-meld on you. Zu speakers next.

Just moved into a smaller room and also went with 
some Piega speakers although not having that wonderful
coax ribbon.
Still breaking them in as we speak and need to proceed with 
some acoustic treatments. Can't say enough of the Swiss 
build quality!

@totem395  congrats on the Piegas! Just getting them? What model are they?

@lewm chakster has hit me hard with Vulcan mind meld but gotta say, I'm super happy with his suggestions and purchases. This Luxman is a beast of table. Two arms! Minty condition from 1978ish. Regarding the Zu speakers. Zu ain't happening in my house, not with the Piegas running show :)
