Hey guys,
I'm thinking of getting myself a brand new turntable to replace my old Pioneer PL-200 player. It's just old, has problems with rpm stabillity, only uses a Rega Carbon rubbers are worn etc. been in my possesion since the 80's.
So I was thinking about getting myself a brandnew Pro-Ject Debut carbon wit the M2 Red cartridge. Now I know a lot of people hold on to vintage as being the pinnacle in quality build and audio, but of course there has been over 30 years of experience and modernisation in a newer generation like the Pro-Ject.
So, what do you think, get the PJ and enjoy a brandnew player or spend loads of money refurbishing a 30+ yr old player which in superb condition sells at e-bay for €50-100 at most perhaps.
What would you do?
