Ask yourself do you mind getting up at the end of each record. If yes, then Thorens or Dual perhaps a few other brands that offer good sound as well. If not many roads and forums that will guide you. Good hunting.
In your price range I would recommend a used Linn Sondek in mint condition or an AR EB101 with the original arm or an aftermarket arm. These 2 tables along with the Rega tables are the most affordable these days which still sound excellent. In my experience these tables have a better sound than the massive high end tables and they are easier to move around than the massive 100 lb turntables that are billed as high end. I hope this suggestion saves u some money and frustration. I have owned many tables and time after time I come back to these 3 tables as my favorites. Let me know how it works out. Shay
I like the Systemdek IIX 900 with acrylic platter if can find one. Add an Incognito wired RB-250 tonearm w/Michell Technoweight, Dynavector 10x5, and a decent phono stage. This is a great sounding "budget" turntable setup within your price range. Check the audio forums and review sites regarding the Systemdek. Hope this helps.
