I want to thank everyone who has commented about my search.
First of all I want to try to clear up any discrepancy with the original post. I am and have been an audio enthusiast most of my life. Now retired I'm choosing to spend my time pursuing my hobby.
I realize that a phono preamp is required. what I'm looking for from your expertise is advice on pairings of table, preamp, arm and cartridge mc and mm. I put an amount of $4,000 for table alone pure and simple, the other items are expected as extra costs.
You have given me good suggestions particularly about George Merrill, I tend to really like crafts people like him.
I hope this gives you more information of what I'm after.
Thanks
Mike
