Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K.


Jumping back into analog and could use some advice. Tables in the running are Micro Seiki, Avid Acutus and ????? System is all tubes and I love to tinker. Cheers

I would also take a look ate Holborne turntables. They don't have great looks but sound good.
I will add a mild contrary view - all based on personal experience:

All around best deck - Oracle
BBFB - SP-10 or Victor TT-101 in heavy plinths
Best "drive" Lenco (slate plinth is best), followed by Garard 301 / Thorens 124
Most airy sound - the Micro Seiki 5000 or even better a Micro air bearing deck.

Most pleasure ..... a Micro Seiki :)
Oracle Delphi Mk VI for a suspended table
or Sota Cosmos

Transrotor Fat Bob for non suspended or VPI Classic 3. Spend the rest on a great cartridge
