Check out the Vinyl Asylum over on AudioAsylum.com for more comments/opinions on tables, arms, carts, and combinations thereof. There is a strong tilt to discovering new ways to get great vinyl playback for not a lot of bucks there.
I'm not sure I agree with that. If Sorlowski had posted his experience over in Vinyl Asylum, there would have been a half dozen people trying to reason with him about how great digital is and how each format is sonically equal. That forum has become the haven for vintage/DIY/Budget equipment with little talk about high end tables, cartridges, tonearms or phono preamps.
