In order to bring vinyl up to the level of CD or Super Audio. I think you would have to spend around $3,000 to $4000. I always had tables around the $1000 to $2,000 range and none of them (while very good) did not give me that OMG factor, until I bought a Pro-Ject Xtension 10 with a Clear Audio Maestro v2 on it. This really brought my vinyl way past CD or SACD sound. I rarely listen to digital anymore. Regards,

Seriously though, NONE of us no your associated equipment or if you want a heavy mass loaded table or a light weight ridged design? I love the Pro-Ject Xtension 10 for its robust heavy mass loaded design and carbon fiber 10" tone arm. It puts out a very big sound stage and has rock solid timing. This table is a couple levels above my previous Thornes TD160 w/Grado Prestige, also my REGA P3/24 with Dynavector 10X5. Regards,
