Which turntable is better?

@elliottbnewcombjr,

Much appreciate posting the link to the Pioneer PL- 600. At one time I owned both the Pioneer PL- 610 and the Pioneer PL- 630. It was a surprise to me that the Pioneer PL- 600 was actually a later model then the Pioneer PL- 610 and the Pioneer PL- 630 with upgrades the engineers gleaned from the two previous models. And the pictures you post are way cool...Keep it up.

If it wasn't for cogging, rumble, hum, bearing issues, low frequency and motor drive system noise, I may not be such a stalwart fan of the modern Technics turntables quiet operation(s).

Lots of praise for that Pioneer PL-600

@robertq you may try bid on this one in JP, to get much better TT in you price range: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175898317984

interesting how fast prices for good things go up.. since I provided link to jp ebay  above for 1200g, price went up 10%!

I have also heard great things about Denon 3000ne a little out of budget but looks like direct competitor to upper end Technics
