Help me find a Simple Hi End Turntable

I know somone out there knows of a SIMPLE hi-end turntable.
All I want to do is buy a TT (used,clean), take it out of the box, cable up, clean a record, and play it. No tweaking, no VTF, no aligning,no arm install, ZERO setup. Why? My eyes are lousy, and I just am a doofus at table/cartridge setup. Why possibly ruin it, and my records? Tried it. I stink. Really don't want to learn at this point. So I am looking for a really good, complete, ready to go table, that will require only a new cartridge/stylus every so often.
I currently own a Music Hall MMF-5. Not bad; I'd like to do better. Thanks for your time!

REGA. That's a Rega and if you buy a Rega TT and a Rega Cartridge then you are all set. Nothing to set at all.

Then its just up to your budget:
$400 = P2 (new)
$650 = P3 (new)
$800 = P25 (used)
$1,200 = P5 (new)
$2.200 = P7 (new)
$3,000 = P9 (new)

Find a reputable and skilled dealer that specializes in vinyl who will do it all for you - then pick the combination (turntable/arm/cartridge) you like and hand over the green. If you were in San Jose I'd direct you to Brian at The Analog Room.

Perhaps if you post the budget you are working to it would help.

Project 9, Rega 25, any my choice would be the Audiomeca Romance which comes fitted with a very good unipivot arm and is a lovely table. Retail price is a bit stiff at 3500; friend just acquired an almost perfect slightly used one for 1250 landed.

The Audio Note TT1 fitted with the Audio Note ARM2 is a very good system for not a ton of money. Used they are a steal if one pops up; about 750 used for the rig.
