Check out the Sota Jewel with Rega arm for under three grand. That will leave you another $2000 for a cartridge and phono preamp!

Agree with the SOTA Jewel suggestion by @yogiboy SOTA's are hitting their stride in that price range, and it's a good platform for you to build on in the future (swap-able arm boards for reasonable prices, etc). The suspension effectively isolates a lot of problems in your rack/floor, which would otherwise dictate extensive solutions for other TT designs. Choose a gorgeous wood that "does it" for you, and you'll cherish it for years. |
Another vote for SOTA here; one of the very best price-to-performance ratios out there. You could even go to a Sapphire if you went for a refurbished unit (direct from the factory, BTW) or are patient and search the used market. Superior performance, pretty and very reliable. Good luck & happy listening! |
