Hello All,

I am looking for a decent turntable in Bangalore. Need good suggestions for members.

Regards

Pioneer PLX-1000. Much more than a decent turntable.
Alternatively, get in touch with The Listening Room in Bangalore. Some excellent turntables from this home based. dealer

@rajeshmehendiratta There are many good turntables, new and old. Your budget can help narrow the choices. If you are a newbie, starting off and need a taste of vinyl, you can try Pro-ject Debut Carbon or Rega RP1, 2.

Being a Debut owner myself - I can say it’s not for someone new to TTs.

Okay, anything specific about this turntable that might make it unsuitable for a newbie?

I dont think Pro-Ject TT's are that difficult to setup, having said that you will need guidance here and there. The online guides are quiet self explanatory on setting up the Pro-Ject Debut series , making the tonearm float is a bit of a challenge but otherwise I think the overall setup is quiet easy. I myself am a newbie to TT's and records and Pro-Ject DC is my first TT.

precisely.
I know someone who accidentally hit the tonearm on the plinth while doing that.
It is my first TT too.

There’s a preorder for new 1200MK7 on Revolverclub(no personal affiliation). For under 1L, that is a very good option IMO. For vintage TTs , FM @reubensm can better guide.

Go for AVid plug and play

being a long term Garrard user, I can vouch for Garrard but there are a few dependencies that one must master - after being able to find one in good shape its about plinth selection and regular (simple) maintenance. As with most idler turntables, rumble control is an art which one will have to master (yes its an art in itself from condition of the idler wheel to platter bearing to the choice of lube oil, etc ). But at the end of the day, the experience is something different. Hard to beat.

How are you getting it for such a low price? Its almost 2x that price, new.
The PLX-1000 is an eyes closed buy. Pair it with a Ortofon Blue or higher and you are set for life.

I am already using Yamaha amp 100 v with stepdown transformer, If I use 100v tt on this will it effect the sound.

100v stepdown in india will kill the dynamics of amp

I’d suggest researching a bit about the pioneer. Quite a few people have issues with the build that affects play. Build quality seems to be quite suspect and a hit or miss from reviews I’ve read and a couple of people I know. Headshell wires getting damaged internally antiskating not working properly which you wouldn’t know unless you checked it against an antiskate gauge. Buyer beware is the rating I’d assign to this table. For a newbie that’s asking for trouble since you wouldn’t know what to spot and how. Would rather have a Project at this price.
