Planar 3 is about $1k, Scout is a big jump up to $2,500 or a bit more. Concept is roughly in the middle.
Ouch. The Classic used to be about that price (and was ******' killer).
I only worked with Clearaudio tables for a year or two, and never really warmed to them, to be honest. Part of it was aesthetic, but they also didn't wow me sonically.
Also, keep in mind that I'm workin' on 10-year-old info; while 'tables are certainly a mature technology, I'm sure that there's been some movement in the market.
