TT TRILEMMA: Pioneer PL 510, Technics sl 1710/1810, Dual CS 604

[Hugh Mongous]

I found some TT's online and can't decide which to buy. Audio quality and accessibility are key.

The trilemma consists of:

- Dual CS 604 - 65 euro
- Pioneer PL 510 mint condition (Empire 2000 e/III) - 105 euro
- Technics sl 1810 - 110 euro
- Technics sl 1710 - 130 euro

The Pioneer and sl 1710 are both in very good condition. The other two are clearly pulled from the attic.

Now, I really like the looks of the Pioneer, but considering the price I'm leaning towards one of the Technics. What do you guys think?

Welcome to the AK turn table forum.

The Technics SL-1700 or in this case SL-1710 is a forum favorite. :thmbsp:
