forget is there a budget?
Changing from my pl600 (silver, DD) but I have shaky hands
I do realize my Pioneer pl600 is the weak in my audio chain. I currently use an ortofon 2m bronze. Considering an upgrade to a Hana mL cartridge. I fear that much more cartridge than that would outstrip my turntable’s ability, at least to be worth the additional cost.
Regarding my hands, I am 49 and have essential tremors (different than Parkinsons). For me to continue with vinyl, I fear that an automatic turntable is what I need
Regarding my other electronics, I have a gold note ds10+ and a ph10. preamp and 211s amp is new audio frontiers. Speakers are the wolf von Langa son, all on a Beaudioful rack
So I feel that the rest of my system is able to handle an analog/turntable upgrade. Given my physical limitations, is there something I am missing? For what it’s worth, I have a spare silver pl600 that is at least parts worthy
I don’t do all vinyl. I stream a lot. But I do enjoy listening to my albums

Dear @wvl I bougth new several years ago and was in my system for to many years to remember and my unit still spining in my brother audio system. The PL-630 is a very hard to beat in its price range and is builded with Pioneer very high quality levels. came with a very good magnesium ( self damped. ) headshell. For today standards still competitive and maybe what could be and up-grade is a new TT mat along the Basis Audio reflex clamp, tha's it. Here a very good picture: Pioneer PL-630 on thevintageknob.org and here more information about:
