Dear Ken: +++++ " I have no objections to buying used either. " +++++
With this option you have a very wide horizon to choose your TT: Verdier is one of the greatest TT's out there ( excellent choice ), SME 20: does not needs any presentation, Avid Acutus, Acoustic Signature, Basis ( the ones that had vacuum hold-down record.), Galibier, etc.,,,,,,
I agree with you about the acrylic TT's and I can tell the same for the wood ones, like Teres.
Now, for that money maybe you can get your TT and a better cartridge ( the SME IV is a very good tonearm, no problem here. ). In this way you can have a great quality improvement over what you have today. Think about.
Regards and enjoy the music.
