Pro-Ject turntables

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.

Notec; so what then is your advice if all the under-$1000 TTs are crap? And at what level does a turntable newbie start at?
