Looking for turntable for under $1000

I looked at the Tonearm Database on Cartridgedatabase.com, and according to the chart, the Denon carts are not good matches with the Pro-ject arms.

Shelter 501 MK II, Benz Micro Ace, and Shure V15 III are all good matches (I threw the last one in as an out-of-the-box suggestion...)

FWIW...

Lucius - I've had a couple VPI tables; they are extremely nice with the right cartridge; surprisingly I like the little Pro-ject RM-5 just as well at about a third of the price.

Mingle and Tvad - thanks for your recommendations on cartridges. I was considering the DL-103R; should work fine with either my Jolida or Project Tube Box. The Shelter 501 is an exceptional cartridge but a little over my budget; the Benz Micro Ace maybe. Was also considering the Sumiko Blue Point Special Evo III.

Bob,

I'm curious about your take on P3/Project comparison.

Piedpiper - I'm waiting for the new version of the P-3 to come out before I buy one; should be an interesting comparison.
