Hi Raul:
Sometimes I look at the question, without looking at any of the other answers, before I chime in. I agree with what you say, concerning the disparity in quality between the two Pioneer TT's. I was just saying that if he has all the prerequisites of the basics in TT mode, sometimes it's senseless to spend bookoo bucks on a new TT. I don't have the top of the line TT's, but would like to. I've noticed if one has the basic requirements of a good TT, sometimes you can tweek it to sound almost as good as a superior make and model. IMO, if you have the basics, money is better invested in a superior cartridge.
