Opinion: Best turntable under $2000?


Ok. I need the group's opinion again. What is the best turntable, with arm, under $2000 (not including the cartridge, phono preamp, etc)? Part two: best cartridge under $500?

Scheu Analog Cello with one of the Scheu arms will come in under your budget. Add a Dynavector 10x and you'll even have some left over for other accessories or vinyl.
Vpi with a Benz cart in your budget...nice sound! My dad and I both have the Musical Surroundings Phonomena phono stage and it can be had for $600 new, half used. His Benz cart on his VPI was at your budget and sounds pretty darn good.
