What are your thoughts about an affordable turntable? Any thoughts/opinions on the Pro-Ject Debut tables?
They seem to get rave reviews, and they look as if they've all got upgradeable tonearms and cartridges. At $399, is there a better option? Have you already hit diminishing returns and are just as good with a cheaper model?

The Pro-Ject Debut is my go to recommendation for a sub $500 table/arm/cart combo. I also recommend the Puck-It center weight for $80.

With that said, I do not recommend all the other tweaks and upgrades for that table because once you add the speed box, new cart, acrylic platter, upgraded isolation feet, you spent enough to move up to a VPI travelled or used VPI Scout, which are in another league.

I am not saying all those upgrades don't make the ProJect better, just that for the money spent, you approach a big jump to another table.

i'm not an expert but i bought a music hall mmf 2.2 on wikibuy for less than $200. The $200 you save can go towards a lot of upgrades.
