If you don't mind going used you might consider a VPI HW-19 Mark 3 with Rega arm. Unlike the Scout, it has a suspension which may, or may not come into play depending on the environment you plan to use it in, but don't underestimate it's importance in typical listening situations. Another possibility would be a SOTA Sapphire with arm, again, unlike the Rega, Scout and Music hall it has a spring suspension. All great players by the way; it is just fantastic to live in a time where there are so many rewarding choices.
Suggestions for my first turntable?
Hello all! I'm looking for suggestions on my first turntable either new or used. I'd like to keep the price under 1k for table, arm, and cartridge. My components consist of: Cary 303/100 cdp, Rogue Magnum 99 pre (recently bought a used 99 Magnum phono board) , Innersound esl amp, and Magnepan 1.6qr speakers. I'd also like any suggestions for tubes in the phono stage, although I'm not sure what tubes are in it, as I haven't yet received the phono board. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'd like to be steered in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
