TT inquiry


Looking at TTs in the $500, or so, area. Pondering the new Pioneer DD, Project Debut and Rega RP1. Kindly advise of your thoughts on these, and any other, brands/models you like. Given it's a TT, I'm thinking new rather than used.

There's a thread currently running, it's so funny he's asking about the same TT's.

The Pioneer PLX-1000 looks awesome, see if you can get an audition; I know Guitar Center carries them. Also many members like the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC; seems to be the most popular budget table due to it's speed control and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge included.
I auditioned a few Rega models and the RP1 looks and feels entry-level; very lightweight with no tonearm adjustment.

Have you owned TT's before? With an entry level table, you usually end up upgrading the cartridge and platter. If you are really into spinning vinyl, you would be happier moving up to the next level of TT.
