I've swung from low price to $1k starting with: * adding a nice cartridge on my Denon Dp-790 * new Music Hall MMF5 * new Music Hall MMF7 * used Linn LP12 as well as thinking about product from Rega and VPI. I have 2,500 rock lps. I'd buy the MMF5 today for under $500 but if I'm going to push $1k then I'll probably delay. I read one user buy a sub $1500 used TT and felt it was dramatically better than the MMF5. hmm....

Mikey Fremer had nothing but good things to say about it a survey of "affordable" tables (Rega, Project, Nottingham). You'd be able to upgrade the arm over time to improve the performance. I have the Interspace with an Origin Live modded RB250 and love it. Beez
