Pro-Ject turntables

Yes, from what I've read the higher end offerings are more bullet proof. But it looks like you won't have any such issues in your price range, is there anything from Thorens that interests you, they also have quite a pedigree.

I purchased the Project Extension 12 a few months ago.

Very pleased so far.

It came with a Sumiko Celebration 2 cartridge and a dust cover.

I feel it was a good value.

Thorens never crossed my mind, so thanks for that. I would say, just by looking at their site, probably, but not 100 sure.

Thanks for the report, PKelly1504.

Now that this thread's been going on for 3-1/2 months, what's your current budget, Dave_72?

No more than $6k, really. By the way, I forgot about the VPI Classic 3. That's another 1 I'm currently looking at.
