Same TT but I did pulled the VTL Maxima pre and Stereo 50 amp out of storage to let them breath and give myself a treat.
Really nice with the Spendors.
Problem is I get no work done when these are in the office...

Now, imagine being yourself in the shoes of poor Mr. Alphonse ( the undertaker from the BBC sitcom Allo allo! ), having to defend yourself for not doing enough work due to ze distraktionz in your office :

I have been through this thread and done other reading on the acquisition and proper setup of a TT. Unfortunately, I don't find that I'm any more confident or less intimidated than I was before I started my research.

Matt did you read the Turntable Setup thread? Lots of people there can help you with almost any TT setup question :)

Yes, I've read it. I just need to quit waffling and make a decision on a TT and take it from there. I struggle on whether to go with an older table with some vintage charm, Pioneer, or something newer and maybe more reliable like a Rega.

Well, if you want to learn to swim, you (usually) have to get wet ...
 
If you start with anything reasonable priced - and even if you break something along the way - not too much damage done. You can learn on inexpensive equipment the basics almost as well as on ultra high end gear - where thought of breaking the cart in the 5 figures really is not for the faint at heart.
 
A practical advice from a British reviewer : " ..... I mounted XY cartridge perfectly in 2 hours when sober  - and in 15 minutes after a good shot of scotch ...."

Have you found a vintage record shop in the Atlanta area?   There HAS to be....................they will get you setup and going.

Yes, I've found one in Atlanta. Just haven't been able to drive down there. They have Pioneer, Thorens and Luxman tables. Alternately I can just buy a new table from Amazon.
