You are welcome.
Another candidate would be the Goldring GR1. It is marketed by an English company that has made some exceptional cartridges in the past. The table is actually made by Rega, and is essentially a P2....for a bit less. Keep in mind that tables are highly engineered devices, with precision parts designed (as mentioned in the thread) not to alter the sound. As the vinyl grooves provide musical information, ensuring that there is nothing added is critical. The cartridge and tonearm should be of good quality and set up properly, as this can also change the sound qualities.
Something to keep in mind regarding some of the top tables - and for that matter higher end audio components (not including most speakers, although it can be accomplished with some), you can purchase pieces to upgrade the model you own to the latest model - ie you can buy kits to upgrade an Oracle Delphi MK II turntable to a MKV. This can be done with SIMAudio, Rega, Linn and Oracle amps, CD players, TT's - to name but a few mfg'ers
This concept could allow you to get a more expensive table used, and have it upgraded to the latest model.
