Turntable/arm/cartridge VALUE combination for 600

I am looking for a turntable package (arm/cart.) combination that is very musical. I am looking to keep the budget under 600. USED is preffered (more bang for th ebuck)

Yes, I release it will not be top of the line. I would also appreciate comments on inexpensive phon pre-amps. I heard great things about the PS audio GCph ($500 too much).

Can you comment on the Bellari V129 or V130-- this is usually sold for 100- 150.

Rega TT are well known for a high price/performance ratio. Look at th the P2 and used P3. Go with a NAD phono, you can find them used b/t $75 - 100.

A used AR ES-1 or EB-101 are very good turntable/arm combo and sell for about 400 dollars or less used. Mine came with a shure M97xe cartridge which is pretty good for the price and I agree with the NAD mm/mc phono preamp it is very good and I have 2 of them. The model is PP-2 or PP-2i for the updated version. Happy Listening. For best results use with a tube amplifier like my stock Dynaco ST-70 which is still a killer amp after 50 years!
