Turntable in 20 K$ price range - Design & Music

Come on with this, a nice TT at 20G.There are no nice TT at this price, only great tables. You could still cut your budget in half and still buy a great table in the used market, and have 10g left over to buy the largest Lp collection to spin on the darn thing for years to come.

In the most recent analog corner, Michael Fremer reviewed the VPI scoutmaster with the rim drive option. He though it sounded great and it is about 8-9K. He said you have to get into the 25K and up category to really top it.

At this price point, the minimum requirement is at least air bearing or magnetic suspension TT. I don't think you need to consider anything ordinary...non-suspense type platter TT.

8-9K for a VXX, you must be joking :). Money spend and you still don't have a WORLD CLASS TT. Wow!!! I don't know 'riming' is this expensive :) .

I own and love the Simon Yorke S7. Simon believe the S10 is better. You might also consider the EAR turntable.
