From looking at the picture, I had no idea the P9 cost $4500. It looks like less to me.I'll bet there are better performing turntables out there for that kind of money. Of course, I'm just guessing. I've never evaluated a P9, but it doesn't appear to be very interesting.
I think if I were spending that kind of money, I would simply buy a brand new SME 309 tonearm for $1800 and then look for a good $2700 turntable to complete the system. I would never buy a used turntable online, but I would buy a refurbished turntable from the original turntable manufacturer. That way I could be assured of getting an undamaged turntable because it will be packed properly for shipment. In other words, I would buy a refurbished SOTA Star with vacuum hold-down and I might even have some money left over for LPs.
Anyway, that's my best recommendation!
Best regards,
