If you can afford it, get the Pioneer PLX1000 DD TT. Brand new $699 + free shipping from American Musical Supply. Excellent TT. Comparable to the old Technics 1200. I bought one. I wanted to try a brand-new TT. I put a Denon 103R mc cartridge on i...

Get the SP9 and replace those modern tubes with some vintage 6DJ8's/6922's. Sylvania, Amperex, Philips ... Much better sonically than present day production!

Add a cheap Grado cartridge to the 1200 and you'll have a good sounding system!

Buy a used NAD integrated amp (with phono stage). Sell or give away the Sony.

TT > phonostage/preamp > amp. So you want a low-cost TT? How about vintage? I bought 3 Empires for a few hundred each! Still great belt-drive tables! And superior to any present day cheap TT! That's one way to go. Or for a bit more get a use...
