Best used turntable(s) around $1500.00 for playing metal and rock


     I am looking for opinions and advice. I Have a Carver CT-17 pre-amplifier, and (2) Carver PM 600 main amplifiers wired in mono off each channel (left and right) to capture the full 600 amps from each. I am driving (2) Klipsch chorus speakers and (1) Sunfire True architectural 8"  (claimed 1800 watt) self powered subwoofer. I am always looking to increase the headroom that accentuates "metal", as well as get the best sound. (departing from the title of this turntable discussion I will add), ... I am planning to add (2) more speakers and another powered sub. I figured sticking to Klipche and getting a larger sunfire was the direction, but always look for input and educational information.
       I presently have a Onkyo CP-1150F, and for a low end turntable, it's spec's, performance and sound are decent, but I really want to upgrade using good information to guide me, and haven't found many metal guys who are on these high-end audio conversations that are helping. I get all my metal information about audio for my home from metalheads in bands that love the headroom great equipment provides at home. Unfortunately, most of the guys I know aren't Vinyl fans, ....  but I am. Any suggestions welcomed.

For rock and metal, you should consider a Technics SL-1200 turntable and find a NOS Stanton 680 EL cartridge.  IMO this is THE best and certainly the most classic combo for rock and metal.
A VPI HW-19 Mk.2/3/4, with a higher mass arm and a London or Decca cartridge.
I am a lifelong metal fan. I use a Rega P3 with a Hana SL MC cartridge and a Rogue Audio Ares phono preamp. This combination has handled everything I have thrown at it from Slipknot and Korn to Tool and Alice In Chains and sound great doing it.
Does it really matter what you play heavy metal LPs on?  There is no sonic fidelity to appreciate there...

Sorry, just had to throw that out there.  I find that when I am playing my true rock n' roll LPs from the 70's & 80's I do not get the soundstage and fidelity I get off LPs of other genres.
