Turntable recommendations?

I recently got a Music Hall USB-1 as a second TT and i'm very pleased:

at $249 about as cheap as you can get for an entry-level TT

Seriously? So spending $100 on a TT would be a waste of money? Bummer. I'd like to get TT someday, but not if it takes $250 to start.

You can get a basic tt for $100 easy.

yes, anything that isn't in the $250-400 range would be a waste of money to me.  if you have a halfway-decent hi-fi, it's an enormous step up from the sub-$100 tables to the real entry level "audiophile" tables.  the good thing is that demand at this level is pushing good companies to focus more on producing and reducing prices of their entry level builds.
