B&O is overpriced, style over substance, hard to fix, and so on. Scratching records would likely be user error; I know of no correctly set up TT that scratches vinyl. For the OP; consider a tiny separate phono preamp such as found here: <http://www.phonopreamps.com> Then you can pick up a vintage TT of your choice. -- Look at Dual, AR, Technics, Thorens, etc. If you really get into it, you'll be changing cartridges and turntables more than LUGers change lenses?
