here's one seller refurb, different model (earlier?)
MGA, and Diatone are the names when the units were sold in Japan. 120/100v step down transformer may be included/needed (I use one, get a nice one under $100)
Changing from my pl600 (silver, DD) but I have shaky hands
I do realize my Pioneer pl600 is the weak in my audio chain. I currently use an ortofon 2m bronze. Considering an upgrade to a Hana mL cartridge. I fear that much more cartridge than that would outstrip my turntable’s ability, at least to be worth the additional cost.
Regarding my hands, I am 49 and have essential tremors (different than Parkinsons). For me to continue with vinyl, I fear that an automatic turntable is what I need
Regarding my other electronics, I have a gold note ds10+ and a ph10. preamp and 211s amp is new audio frontiers. Speakers are the wolf von Langa son, all on a Beaudioful rack
So I feel that the rest of my system is able to handle an analog/turntable upgrade. Given my physical limitations, is there something I am missing? For what it’s worth, I have a spare silver pl600 that is at least parts worthy
I don’t do all vinyl. I stream a lot. But I do enjoy listening to my albums

@wvl , the Hana is a big mistake. Go get a 2M Black. Then have a large glass of wine, take the stylus out and have at it! |
I appreciate the responses, but raising and lowering the tone I’m using a cue lever is not the problem. The problem especially with my shaking hands is moving the tone arm into place on the album. That is why I was looking specifically at either an automatic turntable or just staying with my current turntable. I’d rather not go with an older turntable since that is already what I have currently. For what it is worth the one I have right now I have had since it was purchased new by my father.
