What to look for in a good turntable???

Ok guy's I sold my record collection many years ago.
The only turntable we had was crap.It was my fathers.

I have herd that if you spend about half of what you spend on a CD player on a phonograph, the phonograph will blow the CDP away.

Well I spent about 1,600. on a used Meridian 508.24.

What do I need to look for in a turntable that will outperform the 508?

My music taste is rock n roll.

I realy don't know what to look for at all.Consider me a blank piece of paper folks.

Does the tonearn make the most important investment?
What is the most important thing to look for?

WARNING! The following is the biased view of a DEALER!

The most important thing is that regardless of the components you select, they be installed and setup properly, and that they perform well together as a system. Professional setup is different than just mounting and aligning the cartridge. Choose a dealer who you know has the knowledge to perform a full professional set up.

As for the hardware, The SOTA Comet-III/250 table and arm with Grado Statement Series Platinum cartridge, and Grado PH1 Phono Stage is an amazing vinyl system that delivers far more than you'd expect for $1250. And everything except the Rega arm is made in the USA... Harry
