If you know the history and age of a table you will get much more buying used. Most audiophiles treat their equipment very well and have upgrade fever every few years so its not uncommon to find very nice equipment a few years old at a deep discount.
So many new TT's at lower price, still better off buying used?
Under $1500, you will find TT's from all the big manufacturers. The new Technics and Pioneer decks get good reviews for home audio. However, $1500 gets you a little higher end used TT. TT's are very mechanical, so I'm a little hesitant due to possible wear and tear (I know belts are a plenty to replace).
I'm talking about used TT's themselves with no cartridge.
The Technics 1210 GR looks really tempting
