how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?

@grislybutter

I would strongly suggest that you take a good look at the Fluance RT85 that already has been mentioned. 3 years ago, I wanted a turntable for a tertiary listening room at my house, and since it was not the main or secondary stereo room, I didn’t want to break the piggybank. I read several good reviews about the Fluance line, and with their return policy and "great pricing for the features", I figured I didn’t have anything to lose giving them a try. I’m glad I did. The RT85 punches above its price point, and sounds great with the provided Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge. Add the Schiit Mani 2 MM/MC Phono Preamp, and you have a fantastic budget turntable setup.

Just my 2 cents worth. All the best.

@thecarpathian nice. (I am pissed)

@allenf1963 I am almost there, I just have click the place order button!

@thecarpathian 

Is this you already flipping it for 3 times your buying price??  😂

@grislybutter -- This is another Dual 1264 for sale that looks very nice.

With that cartridge, that’s a good deal!
