I'm no turntable expert and a while back purchased the Audio Note TT2 with their Arm 1(V2) and IQ 1 MM Cartridge.As I'm not a big fan of continuously screwing around with the turntable because for album X I need a certain height and then for album Y I need another screw around to get it just so - this table is dead easy.
It's a 3 point suspended design which is the only fussy think about it so it needs a very solid base (on wall) or concrete floors. But you can pretty much play everything without screwing around with. And since they have a brand new table at $8k out - you may see a lot of these AN TT1 and TT2 tables on the second hand market. These are built off the Systemdek IIx designs you may be more familiar with - but are all upgraded hot-rodded variants.
I also really like the Roksan Radius 5 and Xerxes. I actually had the guy get the box ready for me for the Radius but when the dealer offered up the last demo model in the store for the AN I took it. Largely because I already owned it while living in Canada so I knew what to expect.
I do like simple non fussy tables. Idiot proof. I find if I have to fiddle with it too much - I'll probably just put on a CD. And so it's definitely a worthwhile consideration IMO. Maybe the number one consideration. Indeed, even my TT2 - I have to change the belt for 45s. Umm I don't much play 45s as a result. So even the TT2 isn't as "user friendly" as I'd like it to be.
I have the non deluxe version which is considerably less money.
This is a recent review from Hi-Fi Choice. You may not like the old school styling. The new turntables are prettier in a new age sort of way.
