Hello gentleman,
I'm in the following situation, I've bought a Cambridge Audio SR10 a week ago as an impulse purchase, I had no plans to build a system, I simply stumbled upon it in a shop where I was selling an electric bike, saw it and bought it, as I knew how it sounds from a friend who had one 10+ years ago. This week I managed to source a pair of ELAC FS 207 Anniversary Edition and I want my 1st source to be a turntable which I'm not comfortable buying second hand cause I'm new to them and I'm not sure what to look for. Initially I wanted to buy a Sony PS-LX310BT for around 240 EUR, but I've read a bunch of reviews and decided to up the budget to 400-500 EUR to get a better quality entry level one. Now I have a bunch of options in this price range but I'm not sure what to get, pros and cons, etc.. So my question is, what would be the best option from the list below, considering my system and my noobiness.
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO 2 -> EUR 400
ProJect RPM 1 Carbon n/c -> EUR 480
Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono -> EUR 500
Pro-Ject Debut Pro Satin White -> EUR 560
Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon -> EUR 600
Kestrel Audio KT-100 -> EUR 500
Kestrel Audio KT-50 Phono -> EUR 400
Edwards Audio TT 5 -> EUR 600 (I don't really wanna spend that much, but if it's that amazing I'll consider it)
Edwards Audio TT 4 -> EUR 440
Edwards Audio TT 2.2 -> EUR 340
Edwards Audio TT 1.2 -> EUR 300
Edwards Audio TT1 MK2 -> EUR 390 (EA202 tonearm, EA Blue Belt, ceramic bearing, factory fitted TALK Zephyr C100 cartridge)
JBL Spinner BT -> EUR 360
Yamaha MusicCast VINYL 500 -> EUR 600
Yamaha TT-S 303 -> EUR 400
Lenco L-455 -> EUR 440
Teac TN-4D-SE -> EUR 580
Teac TN-3B-SE -> EUR 380
Dual CS 418 -> EUR 370
Rega RP1 basic -> EUR 260
Rega Planar 1 basic -> EUR 340
Rega Planar 2 basic -> EUR 560
Rega Queen -> EUR 560
Thanks!
