Then you might be able to afford the Avid Acutus turntable.
Description:
The Acutus turntable is radically different from current design theories. In brief, this is a belt drive, sprung subchassis design and this is where similarity with other designs stops.
Vibration caused by the stylus during playback is transmitted to the subchassis directly through the bearing and not absorbed into the platter. This is achieved using a unique matting material and clamping system. External vibrations are isolated by a unique suspension system, now conveniently adjustable from above.
