Turntable for a Denon DL-103 cartridge

I was interested in buying a turntable that would work well with a Denon DL-103 cartridge. I was under the understanding that this cartridge needs an arm with some mass. Some used TT that are for sale in my area are, Dual 1246, Pioneer PL-A45D and a Pioneer PL-41D. Would any of these tables work? Your help is appreciated!

I'd buy the Pioneer PL-41D. Forget about the Dual 1246 - too mechanically complicated (servicing issues) - you don't need a changer!

I use a 103R in my Pioneer PLX1000. It works well and is an easy recommendation! Plus it is a new direct-drive TT with zero maintenance issues!

Herb Reichert gave it a very favorable review in Stereophile. I agree with him! Maybe the best TT under $1K!

I'd go with the New Pioneer!  The used market is over priced, given the current popularity of Vinyl Playback.   Plus you will get a warranty.
