TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range?

Looking to get a table in the above range (not including arm) and looking for suggestions and experiences. Brinkman? VPI? SME? To name a few.

Where to start?Find a good local dealer or a trusted friend and start to listen. Take your time. It could be a very enjoyable search.

Get the right arm and cartridge and you will be in vinyl heaven. I have owned many turntables and the Sota Cosmos MK IV is one of the best turntables I have owned.
