I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions?

I did not care for the fit and finish of the Beogram.  I didn't care for the built in cartridge and I feel it was the weak link with the turntable.  The reason I bought the TT was because I won a Mobile Fidelity box set of the Rolling Stones on vinyl.  I won it from Natural Sound so I went there to buy a TT to play it on (I actually HATE the Rolling Stones).  I didn't care at all for the sound coming from the Beogram, the same songs played on a cheap FM tuner sounded better.  The Rega was a lot more musical, but was very lightweight in sound.  Hope this helps.

I know! I had some old CSNY, Grateful Dead, etc. records and played them on my Technics SL-10, and they sounded so much better than I remember!

I think I am going to pull the trigger on a B&O Beogram TX
price $450

Sell me your SL-10 and buy yourself Technics new reference class SP-10R , order or made custom plinth and buy '10.5 or '12 inch tonearm and cartridge of your choice.

With a B&O, you’re limited to sound-smith for new cartridges, absolutely not a bad thing, they’re great but not the cheapest

I just pulled the trigger on the B&O - Ill post some pics soon. But yeah, I will be feeling dumb when the needle finally dies; that'll be a bank breaker.
