Used turntable & arm combo for under $2500.0

Recommendations for used TT. The more common brands I see for sale are Linn, VPI, and Oracle. Are there more? Possible future upgrades made avaible to TT would be a strong consideration. Need advice on questions to ask and things to be aware of when looking for used TT. I heard some TT are in need of constant tweaking. This is something I like to avoid. Thank-you in advance for your comments.

Try the VPI TNT3, Aries 1 or 2 all with the older JMW10. VPIs are all upgradeble and easy to resell in the used market. The brand speaks for itself.

Dear Norm: In my opinion you have to go first for the TT alone, the tonearm choice must be decided along with the cartridge choice because these couple have to be matched between them, of course that is important too which tonearm with which TT but is more critical which tonearm with which cartridge.

If you follow that explanation then my advise is to go for an Acoustic Signature Final Tool, its performance is for a TT 2-3 times its price: www.acoustic-signature.com

Regards and enjoy the music.

The best for the money, for the best sound, IMHO- a Lenco with a Rega arm. No doubt whatsoever. Especially in your price range.

For a turntable, check out the Sota website www.sotaturntables.com They have refurbed Sotas which are excellent values. Sota remains as one of the very best and the handcrafted quality is superb.
