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

@stereo5 

being on this forum longer than me doesn’t give you any street cred

@leemurray2007,

Then you obviously really don't get it.

Technics SL1200 series..

Even if I had that kind of money, why would I want to go back to school just to change a record and learn to use my new TT? It looks good but who are you going to trust to keep it clean?Ron

@stereo5 

keep telling yourself that.

Also, I think you should give B&O another shot. I am sure their 70s and 80s audio equipment will shoot up in price very soon. I actually found a B&O Beogram 9000 at a thrift store called D&J in orange, VA for only $150. Hooked it up, and it buzzed very loudly and skipped many sections.

The grounding issue was solved by just grounding it (forgot to)
and I did have to buy a new cartridge

after that, sounded very nice. Keep that in my living room stereo setup.
along with a pair of Bose 901(IV) speakers, and a Sansui 4000 stereo, and a nakamichi LX5 cassette deck
