Best tables in under $2500,IMHO Certified pre owned VPI Classic 1, Scout 1.1/Scout 2 or Project Extension 10 or Clearaudio Concept or used Ovation or Performance. The Linn LP12/Ittock combo is a good one, still keeps up with just about anything under 2K....used. Biggest challenge, keeping the power supply perfect for another 30 years. Just the Lingo III upgrade costs a staggering $2200.
