If you've got the budget the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO has been pretty awesome. A bit spendy, though.

I had a Pro-Ject Xpression 2 and hated it. There was a buzzing noise I could never get rid of,which apparently is quite common with Pro-jects. I stuck with it though until one day it started playing my records backwards!👹
If you’ve got the money go for a Linn — absolute classic.
