At that price point - the entry level for high-end turntable-cartridge combinations - there's almost an embarrassment of riches. Rega, Pro-ject, and Thorens are all good bets and I'm sure some of you can suggest others. If you don't have a reasonably high end dealer near you, try www.audioadvisor.com. Unfortunately my AR is long out of production. Note: Vibration proof mounting is CRITICAL if you want all the quality the equipment is capable of.
