Turntable Recommendations please.


I'm looking to get into vinyl and have no experience with turntables. My budget is $3500 max on the used market for table, arm, and cartridge. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Carl, sometime you amaze me. I didn't know you knew about the Phonomena, much less heard it. I did the pictures of it that are currently being used. By the way, you are right about the sound of same. Pretty amazing for the VERY low price. I do think its a long way from the Aesthetix and even the Counterpoint SA9 (long discontinued), and probably not quite as good as the current Lukaschek PP-1 revised. But, again, less money than any of the others mentioned, and the buyer of the Phonomena gets new merchandise and a warranty!
A friend of mine is best buds with Mike Yee. SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BOB CLARKE at MS? You're a photographer? My parents are aerial photographers.
Bob went back to school to pursue higher education. I'm not sure what his plans are after that. I do all the photography for the lines represented by Musical Surroundings, including Aesthetix, Basis, Benz, Lukaschek, Graham. I do others too, but that's another story.
hey id like to see some of thse photos, the winegard for instance. the raddio telescope in guam is spectacular too.
No one seemed to mention this. In your budget for getting into vinyl, be sure to include money for a record washing machine. If it takes 20% of your funds, you won't be sorry! dr
