Pro-Ject turntables

Ok, thanks again. Much appreciated. There's so many options in the $2500-$6k range, that it's a bit confusing to me. You have Avid, Clearaudio, Luxman, Nottingham, SME?, Transrotor, etc.

I personally like the Luxman out of those at the moment. It has the functionality of my Technics with better build and is belt drive.

I could change my mind, which I usually do, haha.

My phono stage is internal in the Bryston BP6 preamp. Bryston says it's broadcast quality...

In the $2,500 to $6,000 range you do have a large number of choices. I have a Basis and a SME 10. I can readily recommend both, they are great turntables; and both can be bought used in your price range.

Cool, and I forgot about Basis and SME...they're pretty big players, so there's more to add in the pot! lol.

I started with a Project Xpression, which I believe used to cost less than it does now, and I loved it.

I Just had one of the wood bodied Grado carts on it with the Grado phono pre....of course all of this snow balled into my currently $10kish Garrard 301 rig, but my little brother is still using my first project setup and I have to say I still like it.

Ok, cool. What did you like about it, per se.
