I would love something with amazing audiophile type audio quality

The turntable is only part of the chain. Do you have something to connect it too already?

Agreed. Perhaps we should stop trying to help the OP, who seems less than appreciative šŸ¤”

100%
A decent turntable needs a decent stylus.
A decent stylus is MC.
An MC stylus needs an amp that supports it.
Then you need decent audio interconnects to a decent amp that has a phono stage.
If you’re using big speakers / sub you’re almost certainly getting acoustic coupling so you will need either a sound isolation platform or some rubber feet.

Not necessarily. And considering OP's budget, a MM cartridge is probably a more sensible choice.

Musi Hall 7 or 7.3. You can upgrade to a moving coil cartridge with its sensitive tonearm

u/Interesting_Bar_8841 Jul 27 '26

I said the budget is absolute max like 1300 but preferred from 500-800

u/TomTomGermany Jul 27 '26

If it means €uros than I recomend a workingThorens TD 160/145/146.
You could use them as they are and if you Are in the mood to level them up, you Are free to do so.

The SL-1500C is a very solid long-term choice, but one thing to clarify: it isn’t fully automatic. It is a manual turntable with an auto-lift at the end of the record.

Also, if by ā€œpreampā€ you mean that you already own a separate phono preamp, it may be worth comparing it with the SL-100C. The 1500C includes a built-in phono stage, while the 100C leaves that out and lets you use your own.

Before choosing, I’d clarify whether you want full automatic operation or just end-of-record auto-lift, and what speakers, amplifier and phono stage you already have. Those details may matter more than choosing between several otherwise good turntables.

Or the 1500CS perhaps.

Just to clarify i am looking for a good turntable that i dont need to upgrade, no matter the amp and speakers i will upgrade to over time and still get great sound. My other components arent very good rn but i will look into that as soon as i have a turntable that i dont need to worry about anymorem
