Opinion: Best turntable under $2000?

Vpi with a Benz cart in your budget...nice sound! My dad and I both have the Musical Surroundings Phonomena phono stage and it can be had for $600 new, half used. His Benz cart on his VPI was at your budget and sounds pretty darn good.

How about a used Linn LP-12 with an Ittok tonearm, very musical with potential for upgrades.

Do you know a Scheu dealer? They are nice machines, but I dont know where to get one.

Also, JA Mitchell and Roksan always pops up with a well reviewed machine in this price range...does anyone have opinions about the Roksan Radius or the Michell Technodec?

Stereophile's 2005 Analogue Product of the Year - Rega P5 with the optional TT PSU and a mounted Exact cartridge. New can be had for $1600.
