Clueless and Seeking advice on TT purchase


Hi All:
I need a turntable without breaking the bank. Range about $1,200 - 2,000. Must admit I've lost track (actually I was never on track) of what is what in this price range and I've been so busy I can't spend that much time checking it out so I seek your advice. I see several units out there.

Basis 1400

Oracle MKII

The good news is that it is going in a system that is almost all diy by yours truly so it won't make that much difference anyway! I'm using my proprietary zip-cord for interconnects.

Thanks in Advance

Sincerely
I remain,

Thanks guys after your help I've finally been able to make up my mind and went with the Bang and Olufsen 4002.

I think it stands for "Bang" for the buck! IMHO it compares with anything under 10k.

Never could have done it without you. My ABBA collection never sounded so good! I theorize it's the Scandinavian electronics. What synergy!

Sincerely

Clueless, I would actually get that just to show it on static display, while you're hiding your DIY-plinth job behind a curtain. :-) [BTW, I trust you received my email reply.]
