I am looking for advice on how these 2 turntables compare. I have a vintage Pioneer SX-150 receiver and a Pioneer RT-701 RtoR, along with Pioneer vintage 70's speakers, I listen primarily to 60,s 70's music.
Get the Pioneer. I owned a CS 5000 it was ok. I tried many different cartridges just to have it sound dry and boring. My brother owned a Pioneer PL 530 and it always had a great sound very envolving!
I have had other Dual tt that sounded better than the CS 5000. The CS 5000 is one of Duals worst sounding tts. That pioneer is not the best tt but I bet it sounds better than the CS5000
That Pioneer was quite the advanced machine in its day...but appears to be extremely complex which doesnt bode well years later...KISS always applies...dont know much about the DUal...but it appears to be an average performer...much better or sought after duals....just my 2 cents....
