- Buy a used Oracle with a Linn tonearm (the Ittok is the best match).
- You can get a used Oracle Delphi (< Mk III) and an arm for around $1000.
- Forget Linn turntables :-)
- Actually, the old Rega Planars were pretty good. A Thorens 166MkII
- is a good table and can be had for <$200. I have heard only good things
- about the Revolver. A Revolver and Linn Basik arm will run you something like
- $500 new.
