TT Quest '09

[mdabb]

First of all thanks in advance and please, anyone feel free to jump in.........


So, I'm looking for a great TT, so many choices and combinations out there, and that's great, but sorting through all of it is another. This will definitely be a great project for me, which I'm really excited about !!!

On with the quest.........


I will only be looking at new TT's exclusively. Yes I might/should be able to pick up an "even better" one on Audiogon, but not this time around. Nothing against Audigon, because I love, love Audiogon and use it quite often. I want to say I have a budget but it's more like a limit. I tend to get kind of happy and feeling good once I start thinking about a new toy, but being that this is my first serious adventure into the analogue realm I want to stay "somewhat" grounded. So currently I am setting the limit at +/- $2500. I am pretty open to suggestions, but I'm limited to what is available within a few hours drive of me, and I would like to limit my final list to just a handful of possibilities when it comes down to it.

First up is a small but high-end audio dealer that carries a couple of the brands I have already been looking at, but carries others as well. I will provide a link below, so if anyone has any experience or knows something that I should take under advisement, please don't hesitate. I am actually excited about this first place because it's small, personal and best of all he has some great toys !!!!

My first stop..........
