Hi Vinyl experts
I'm looking for a TT to dip my toes into vinyl... for home audio use, looking for something that is pretty decent and will be for a while, sounds good without too much fiddling.
I can get an almost new SL1200-MKII for almost the same price as a Pioneer PLX-1000 right now. Anyone seen or used a Pioneer PLX-1000 or can comment on its spec. just thinking that perhaps the SL1200's prices have hiked purely based on its legendary status :thinking:
I can also get a SL1210-M5G at a premium, but its seen more use, but still mint.. seller is asking around $800
Searching the web and this forum led to the following Stereophile post on the PLX-1000

Would a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Espirit SB be a competitor in performance to a SL-1200 MKII
Maybe a Pro-Ject 1Xpression Carbon with a Sumiko Oyster

Or a Rega Planar 2

Apologies for all the links to Amazon, its just the US is my new place to stay, but SA and its people are still home.
Thanks!
