Tonearms: Pro-Ject,Rega,Linn,& SME.
Pro-ject TT's gets honorable mention in the budget category,stay away from the lesser models as these are prone to various problems. The upper models are decent.
Just my $0.02.
I have a budget turntable now, Technic SL1200MKV with a AT440MLA cartridge. It sounds Ok. I like CD's and having a music server better, but since I have quite a few albums (few hundred) mostly from the 70's and 80's a new turntable is something to think about. I have heard that the Technics is better then most budget tables ie less than $1000.
