Best TT under 2K?

I am trying to decide what TT to purchase. I need to keep it under 2K and have been looking at the MMF7, MMF9, Marantz TT-15S1 and the Scout (pushing the price with a cartridge). Does anyone have experince with some of these that could discuss some of their opinions?

Take a look also at the KAB Technics SL1200 and SL1210 tables.

This reviewer considers the KAB Technics SL1200 superior to the MMF-9.

I second the SL-1200 or better yet the KAB modified version. They are well built and also sound damn good! Had a head to head comparison the 1200 vs the Rega planar 3. The 1200 was clearly much superior.

The only weak point I can see is the tonearm on the 1200.

Psychicanimal should be here shortly with his report on the 1200.

Sounds hard to believe, but the Technics KILLS. Kevin at KAB is wicked cool and great to work with. I've owned Linn, Rega and Nott. They ALL destroy digital. Linn is the best, but very expensive. Under $1,000, it's the Technics. Under $2,000 it may be the Rega P5 w/PS. Nott is great too. U can't go wrong with analog. A "garage sale" TT beats a hell of a lot of digital rigs.
