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

Depends a LOT on your budget! Sota, Linn-Sondek, AR, VPI, or Pro-ject

Does it strike anyone else but me that this is a very odd thread in terms of the tone? Anyway, I have not heard a Beogram  turntable in maybe 30 years, but never sell the B & O cartridges short. I am currently listening to a vintage B&O MMC1, mounted in a triplanar tonearm. Without a doubt this is one of the finest cartridges I have heard in my system regardless of cost. I acquired the MMC1 NOS about 6-7 years ago but have only had it mounted and in use for a few months. Fantastic cartridge that once formed the basis for Peter Ledermann’s business. Now I understand why.

It all depends on how much you are willing to pay....  What is your budget ?

@lewm I think folks misread or misconstrued the poorly worded OP.

@stereo5, off- topic, but wow, you brought back some memories.  I grew up in Framingham and Natural Sound was where I bought my first "real" stereo, back when I was in high school in '75, which I think was a Harmon/Kardon receiver and Electrovoice speakers and a Dual turntable.  At the time, they had some incredible sounding equipment that I remember sounded just like the band was in the room.  No idea what it was, other than Mark Levinson amp and preamp, but it is THE sound in my head that I keep chasing (unsuccessfully) to this day!
