Hey NYG,

Yeah, unfortunately, I'm not able to spend that kinda scratch...I'm looking more at a used turntable at 300 bones tops. Maybe I can find a used one with a nice cartridge.

There in a new music hall in that range (MMF-2.1) that one can get complete with a goldring elan cart. for under 300.

I'll go check out that link with the used goods to see what they have....
