Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00


Hi fellow Audiogoners - I am looking for recommendations for a used, reliable, world-class turntable/tonearm combo that doesn't break the bank that I can easily get parts for and repair and/or maintain that doesn't need constant tweeking or a lot of fuss. I look forward to your timely relies. Thank you.

I would say no doubt at that price point buy a replinthed Technics sp-10 mkll. You will be amazed how plug-n-play this deck is with elite class sound. The mkll is also very serviceable but I'll bet after a couple years you'll be looking for a MKlll. I started with a mkll to compare with a VPI Super Scout Master rim drive. I now have two MKllls. Call Steve Dobbins, Albert Porter or Chris Thornton. You can get a mkll for less than your stated budget. It will blow you away and it's like operating a child's close and play. It just spins at the designated speed with the push of a button, never bogs down and with a doubled arm plinth the possibilities are almost endless.
If I could afford to pull it off, I'd purchase a used Transrotor. Acoustic Solid is much like the Transrotor in its approach. They're simple, no froth, solid build, will effectively accommodate any cartridge and look great as well.
Basis 2500 with Vector Arm, will even have change left for a nice cartridge. I have owned one of these for years, superb sound and trouble free. I also own a TW Acoustic Raven 2 with Tri-planar Arm and the Basis easily keeps up.
