Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k


Greetings All-

I'm in the midst of reconfiguring my system and I'm interested in your recommendations for a table/arm combo in the less than $4k range (new). I have a Shelter 90x cartridge from my last analog rig and an EAR 834P that I had modded by Great Northern Sound Company that I will be using as my phono section. I've previously owned a VPI Scout and a Basis 2500 Signature. I'm looking for that best bang for the buck table...

Thanks/cbd

Well the price I saw was $4600. Unfortunately, Galibier's site made it hard for me to validate the price, so I went with another recent quote that I found on A'gon. Evidently the price I found was not the lowest available. Still, you need to factor in the cost of an isolation base.

I've only heard Galibier at RMAF, not in a home system or at their shop.

Have you been able to compare the RM-10 with the Serac? If so, what difference did you hear?

$4600 or $4050 the Galibier Serac rig is hard to pass up.

If you want to set your budget dollars a little lower A Scheu Analog with battery power supply could be an option.

I never mentioned the Artisan Audio. As I said in my earlier response, I thought that the lowest price for a Serac with one of their offered tonearms was $4600. Apparently that was incorrect.

Right, that MMF (Pro-ject really) tone arm wasn't 10", wasn't carbon fiber and had different gimble and bearings; otherwise it was similar to the RM10's arm.
