At some point in the next 3-6months I want to get back vinyl...my last turntable was a Luxman PD264.

I've been looking at Pioneer PL71s, Sony 6750 and Technics SL1210 all of which seem to sell for between £300 and £500.

I was wondering how these would compare to a Project Debut Carbon or a Rega RP3, not just in terms of sound but in terms of ease of use, maintenance etc. I don't want playing vinyl to become a chore but for it to be a pleasure...

Thoughts?
