Suggest Table and cartridge for my system

Hello,

I have never owned a quality table. I am lookingto add one to my system. Here is my current setup:

Proac Response 2
Rogue Tempest(has phono stage)
Audio Aero Prima MKII
Acoustic Zen Ref Matrix II interconnects and tsunami PC's
Top Gun line conditioner

I was thinking about possible a Aries Scout but not sure what cartridges to look at. I am open to ideas in $1000 range for the table and $3-500 for cartridge, used market is fine.

Thanks

What would be interesting as well is comparing the Benz S LP with the LP.

Carter9000,

I have not had a chance to go yet as I got side tracked..... and bought some GMA Callisto's and a pair of Odyssey Lorelei's to a/b against each other. My Proacs have since been put up for sale. The Lorelei's are due on Monday so once I figure out what is going on speaker wise I will get back to my analog hunt.

Please report back with your auditions of the two tables if you get a chance.

Thanks!

Stringreen, unfortunately I won't be able to compare the cartridges. Although, I am not getting the LP, I am getting what use to be called the H2 - the entry level high output wood bodied cartridge. Now I think it will just be called the Benz Wood Body S Class cartridge.

It's called the Wood Body SH, for high, as opposed to the SM and SL, for medium and low respectively.
