I have a budget of around $2k used and slightly more if new. I have found plenty of options in the $1k-2k$ range just concerned about over-reaching. I have a Uturn Orbit with a Grado Black. It can only go up to a Ortofon 2m red I believe. But I don’t mind the Grado at all it seems quite smooth and the table itself is surprisingly forgiving of some used vinyl I picked up a couple months ago. I had even thought maybe just get a phono-pre instead would be better.
The speakers are Nestorovic Type 5AS Mk III (91db) full range floor standing. They are very detailed but natural and holographic. The other users I have found drive them with up to 150 wpc solid (or tubes around 100 wpc) but one post somewhere said 200 wpc (or more) would be better due to the impedance dips and bass suspension system.
