RE: Which new budget semi-auto turntable would you buy?

I currently own a Denon dp-300f and use it quite often. I have worn out the stock cartridge (at 3600) and have since ordered a Grado Black. It's pretty good, certainly not a toy as people may think. I couple of things you should know before a purchase. It's tone arm height can not be adjusted. It weights @ 12 pounds, not really an issue but some of the fake SL Technics 1200 weight quite a bit more. It's resell value would be just over half of the list price if it doesn't work out for you. If you can find this unit used, that would be a great deal in my opinion.
Other than that, I love the fact I can surf the web with the TT going and not have to get up every 10 to 15 minutes after a record is over!
