Last few months I’ve been looking for a turntable.
My very short list is:

Vpi prime signature
Brinkmann bardo with its 10.5” arm.

I listened both and liked both. Unfortunately on totally different setups, so there cannot be a critical judgement.
Also, the dealers may bring them at my home, but not at the same time, with the cartridges already installed on them and bring me a phono too-which will be different each time. I think that unless they had the same phono and cartridge is pointless to have them auditioned home.
I haven’t considered yet the cartridge and the phono. Preferably I want to keep the total cost at 10000 euro so for both phono and cartridge I should spent 2500-3000 euro.

I want a “solid”, “excellent” tt on which I will invest a better phono and cartridge when time comes. For the time being this budged should do.

Current system is B&W 803D2, Primaluna dialogue premium hp int w/kt150, oppo105d.
Favorite music: classical.

Any thoughts, comments, proposals,... much appreciated.
