Matt was looking into tables (preferably new) and we gave some recs...but I wanted to show you could search for a legacy table EVEN ON EBAY and find some gems.
I spent part of today researching what was out there. I knew what I was seeking. An auto or semi auto for when I cant keep my eye on my Concept (Full Manual). So I searched and settled on this one:
Vintage Pioneer PL 500 Shure Premier Cartridge Needle Excellent Condition | eBay
I got it for an Offer of $200 and free shipping. Its a very cool table...I owned the PL600 at one time (sorry I sold it) as it was much better than I gave it credit for. I would have to pay double what I sold it for to get another. The PL-500 is a damn close 2nd...and will serve my needs. I will put my AT440MLa on it and use the ART DJ Pre phono for it..
Now, of course, its not my Clearaudio Concept/Phonomena II/Concept MC cart quality...But its a close enough second for that type of listening (wandering the house) and no worries about it carving a groove in a record label...LOL
Here is the PL-600 I used to have..talk about ROCK steady...the base, paintjob and plaque are custom...by me..
