Best Budget Turntable < $500.

Pro-Ject is bringing its RPM1.3 to the US in March. Apparently it's been a popular table in Europe. Comes in black, red and white. Price will be $499. I'm interested in reading what the audio press has to say about it.

Not too long ago musiciansfriend.com carried the Technics SL-1210 Mk II for around $450. I picked up one for $389 during a sale. Haven't seen it on their site lately but it's one worth looking around for.

Project seem to be leading the market for budget turn-tables here in Britain....a good starter range the genie-3 then upgrade the cartridge...up to the more mid-fi models
