Best value $1500 TT and cartridge.

Winoguy17:
Good suggestion (Clearaudio Concept). Along the same line is another turntable from the same OEM, but a different brand name, and some interesting variations:

Absolute Sound review

The Marantz is another $100 cheaper than the Clearaudio Concept and includes a Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony cartridge, an $899 value.

AudioAdvisor is selling the Pro-ject rpm 9.2 sans cartridge for $1500,
or with a Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO III phono cartridge for $1850.
Sounds like a pretty good deal. Any comments would be appreciated.

Just pulled the trigger on a used Clearaudio Concept turntable. Now I
need advice on a MC cartridge. Hana?

I have the Concept Wood. Just put the Hana SL on it a few weeks ago. LOVE it!!!

wino, have there been any upgrades/changes to the concept in the last
4 years? Does the "S" series offer that much over the "E" series to war-rant the 75% increase in cost?
