    So my old Technics SL-BD22 finally gave up last week after 30years plus of service

    Looking to replace it and am looking for advice from people


    Have kind of narrowed it down to the following


    Audio Technica LP120 about €300

    Pioneer PLX-350 about €350

    and finally

    a 2nd hand Technics SL-QD33 for about €150

    I know 2nd hand can be a risk as it is a used old machine so not sure if it worth the risk

    So would like to know peoples opinions

    The shop upstairs in Tower Records had a few bargains in turntables recently, maybe Rega. For me Rega is step above either of the brands you're looking at. There are s/h bargains to be had as well (Thorens?) but factor in a new cart and maybe even a new arm.

    OK guys well I took a risk and after scouring the internet eBay etc decided to purchase ....


    a Technics SL-Q3 from Germany


    People expressed reservations about shipping etc but in fairness it arrived well packed and in great condition


    It is now pride of place in my room with some great features so as automatic start and stop and a repeat function
