Diving back into analog...which turntable to buy


Ive tried this a few years ago with a LP12 table and could never get it to sound as good as my digital so off it went.Im determined to get a table and make it work...So im willing to spend up to a grand,nothing more.What do I buy used or new.Looking for an easy to setup and maintain belt drive table.Thanks in advance

Im saying a grand on the table..not a table,cart and phone pre...and yes I have albums tons of them that have been boxed for decades,lol.I guess ill go back to google..thanks though
Also budget a RCM for bringing your vinyl back to life. A used VPI turntable would be a good start to your adventure
You should be able to get a good, used VPI Scout for 1k. It comes with an arm. There's also a lot of upgrades for it, if you decide to stay with vinyl.
Apologies for going slightly off-topic. Remember this?

I've been using a group of bog-standard Sony players for years. This must surely confirm my golden-eared status. ;^)
I read through your test. Assuming I take you at your word as to how the test was done, and what the results were, what exactly does the test confirm?
