Best TT under 2K?

Psychicanimal should be here shortly with his report on the 1200.

Wow - I wanna get one just to hear how it sounds!

Sounds hard to believe, but the Technics KILLS. Kevin at KAB is wicked cool and great to work with. I've owned Linn, Rega and Nott. They ALL destroy digital. Linn is the best, but very expensive. Under $1,000, it's the Technics. Under $2,000 it may be the Rega P5 w/PS. Nott is great too. U can't go wrong with analog. A "garage sale" TT beats a hell of a lot of digital rigs.

I would suggest a nice used linn lp12 with ittok arm (original pre cirkus) I have seen these on agon for around 1500. put a nice grado on it and you have a very sweet turntable.

If you have a budget of 2K or less, I would urge you at the proverbial point of a muzzle to look to the used market. For a little less than 1k you can try to catch a Basis 1400 for example. My point is that in this price range you can so much more for your money on the used market.

Best,
