Linn, Rega, ProJect, an refurbished beogram,...  The prizes are between 300€ and 10K€.

It's difficult to give you an advice without knowing the price range you are looking for. Do you wanna have an inbuild pre-amp and what kind of design do you like?

The question sounds a liitle bit like: "i wanna buy a new car, which one can you recommend?"   ;)

I was really impressed with my old Pro-ject RPM 6. I used it with my BeoLab 5's and a Pro-Ject Phono Box pre-amp.

I'm now using my Classic Audio restored 1967 Beogram 3000 (Thorens), so the Pro-Ject is on eBay!

For a 'clean install' you could go for a pre-amped B&O deck.  These are the BeoGram 3500, 4500, 6500 or 7000. You'll pay a premium for these though, and also bear in mind a worn stylus will significantly impact on the sound quality.  Popping a refurbed stylus in one of these decks instead of the original/old one can be akin to taking cotton wool out of your ears!!

I was thinking to spend around 1k

Friend of mine suggested 

Thorens TD520 or TD320

Hi Lee,

How does the Project compare to Beogram 3000 ?

What cartridge have you  used in Project ?

Cheers

Around 1K, i would buy a Pro-Ject or a Rega. Normally these two brands have the best "quality / cost balance".

Be aware that, no matter how good a table things like the Project and such are, and they are good tables, they are fully manual. You put the arm on the record yourself, and they do not pick up or stop at the end, so you have to do that too.

The Beograms were fully automatic tables. Which is why I went back to my BG3000 tangential after living with a very nice VPI HW19 setup years ago. The Beogram was much easier to use and live with at least to me.

Just something to consider before spending money on a turntable.
