I will probably be using a high output MC cartridge which may have some bearing on the arm selected. Here are the tables I have considered: Used Oracle Delphi Mark II with Fidelity Research arm Used Sota Sapphire III with MMT arm, vacume mat, flywheel Used Sota Sapphire III with MMT arm New Well-Tempered turntable (can't find one used, pricey) New VPI Mark III w/ MMT arm (none used, pricey) Other tables I considered, but rejected as too "Mid-Fi": New Rega Planar 3 with Rega arm New VPI Jr with PT5 arm I would like to spend less than $1000 for a table with arm and cartridge. Any comments on these tables or suggestions as to others I should consider are greatly welcome.
