Not sure. I’d like mid to high end. 5-8k?

I have a VPI Prime which I can highly recommend…but with price increases, cost of cartridge and a phono Preamp…you will at least be at the top of your budget.

If I were buying today…and I was not going to get a VPI, I would likely get a Avid or a Goldnote. Not your most popular brands but I am a huge fan of the build and look of each.

I suggest 3 turntable,these are among the 3 best you can find in the market in his range price

The Wand turntable and Master tonearm 6.700 euro price list in Italy
Bauer DPS 3 with unipivot tonearm 9.400 euro
STST Motus DQ 4.700 euro without tonearm,can put a Wand Tonearm around 2.000 euro

This are price list,then you can have some discount

I have a TT2. Haven’t bought the turntable yet. Might get a Dave. I’d like a better audiophile turntable as well. Any thoughts on setting this up?

5-8k can get you a great TT and phonostage in that price range. I'd suggest looking for a used VPI or Linn LP12; there are lots of other great tables as well but those are quite common and well regarded. As for phonostages, Parasound, Chord, SPL, Ayre and Gold Note all make excellent stages that you won't need to upgrade from at all. You can get a Hana, Ortofon, or Dynavector cart for sub $1000 as well; Ortofon would be the most common of the three but all are fairly common.

A suggested setup might look like:

Linn LP12 Sonndek
Chord Huei
Ortofon Black

If you buy the Linn and the Huei second hand you can save some change.

Can someone help me on how I can connect the Susvara or TC to turntables?

If I were you I'd first read about amps that go well with Susvara nad TC. These cans are rather notorious loads, but can sound awesome and amps for them make a substantial difference. Here the Susvara thread should help:

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hifiman-susvara.853031/page-1039#post-16936997

With an amp ou of the way I'd then see how much money I have left and based on that I'd look for a phonostage. Hope this helps!

Of course all that makes sense if you already have a turntable

This music center was made in the USSR 40 years ago and still works fine.

The 26mm Acetal Platter sure does the trick for my RP8

He has a cool dad

I hear you, these are small affordable things that can make a noticeable difference.

Well THX again and I'll admit they are probably a little overkill on a 51lb table but they look kinda cool LOL

Moved my Sol out to main system. Swapped out the Mani for an old Musical Fidelity M1LPS and have a MX VNYL on order. Going to add a Music Hall Cruise Control as well.

Re-setup the Sol this weekend. Got the 2M dialed in much better than when I first installed it. Sounding good right now!
