Welcome to AK. I don't have first hand experience with any new tables other than the Denon 300 which is automatic. My experience with it is limited but has been good. The Monolith that was mentioned earlier is getting good reviews. I've also read a lot of good reviews on U-Turn and Fluance.Semi would be my preference, but I'm good with manual.
Thanks for the advice, everyone. I had looked at a few of these but I'm glad to have more options and recs.
How does the sound quality of the Fluance compare with the U-Turn? I know with different cartridges it may be hard to compare.I recently gave my secondary u-turn table to my daughter and put a $249 Fluance RT81 in my bar area and am highly impressed for the money. Only auto function is the platter will stop spinning at the end of the record - which you can turn off. Reasonable built in mm phono stage and build quality too.
I did pop in an LP Gear 95VL stylus. Easy $130 upgrade and totally worth it in my opinion - a fantastic value at ~$400 all in.
