Description:
The PLX-1000 is precision engineered for the booth, drawing on 50 years’ experience of making high-end turntables. The result is a familiar layout with some next generation improvements, including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build and sound quality, and detachable power and audio cables.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's was worth it, was hesitant at first but it's what I end up getting no regrets.

I love the look, the blue strobe light is the best and so far the sound quality is amazing rocking a Ortofon Concorde Music Blue Phono Cartridge. Over all the function is simple and easy to use.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for home use
I was looking at a Technics or this turntable. After a lot of reviews said this sounded as good and was cheaper, I went with the Pioneer. So far it sounds fantastic. It's a heavy unit, but takes up the same about of space as most Turntables. Setup isn't hard, fine tuning is a little more difficult, but not to hard. It does not come with a cartridge. I paired it with a Audio Technics AT-VM95ML. You just connect to the 4 poles and slide it on the arm. Even with buying the Cartridge it was cheaper than the Technics of the same capabilities. Assembly of the table is as simple as putting in the table. You get different tops if you want to listen or DJ And scratch. So, something for any use. The player is well laid out and has slot for the 45 adapter. As I don't need the DJ options I just reset everything to defaults and played records. The instructions included and online can walk you through a proper setup.The player does not come with an equalizer or amplifier. My receiver has a Phono input so it plugs right in. If you don't have a Phono input you'll need an external device to get the sound to line level. It comes with a RCA cable and ground wire. It does not have auto return at the end of the record. Once everything was set I tried rock, jazz, classical, and it all sounds great. The lights blue record and a white needle light at not a distraction and the needle light can be turned off. Overall, a nice turntable for home use. I'm getting back into records and this was a nice compromise between a beginner turntable and spending over a $1K for a decent turntable. All seems good to me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best turntable
Excellent. Paired wit ATVM95EN cartridge, superb combo. LPs come alive. Music jumps at you. Outside of setting vta no adjustments needed. Plug and play. The quality, build and ease of use are incredible. Youtube shows some people have issues with tone arn bearings being loose on unpackaging. Others complain about tracking. Musy be older units. My tonearm bearings are as smooth as oiled glass. Tracking is dead on. Actually worth twice the price.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this deck!
Had the Technics 1200's for years, but sold them years ago. Wanted to get back into playing the vinyl and doing some mixing. These work just as well at the 1200's but save you a couple hundred bucks. Great torque. Solid pitch control. Highly recommend! Using at home, not on a mobile or permanent rig.

5.0 out of 5 stars Major Upgrade from Pro-Ject Debut Carbon
I had been using a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with the 2M Red cartridge for about 4 years. When considering the upgrade I knew that I wanted a better cartridge than the 2M Red and a more robust unit to deal with people walking past the unit during parties and unwanted resonance in general. This unit is substantial weighting in at about 2x the weight of the Debut. I also liked that fact that this unit did not come with a built-in preamp or cartridge. I’m a tinkerer and like to constantly try new preamps and cartridges. I’m currently using a Yaqin Hybrid Tube preamp and an AT-VM540 cartridge. The sonic performance is night and day. Wow. What an upgrade. Now I’m going to try the AT 33PTG next, as I’ve never tried a moving coil cartridge before. I did consider other turntables at about 2x the price, however, that all came stock with cartridges I did not want, like the 2M blue or other lower grade cartridge, or did not have the mass of the PLX-1000. Great unit. I’m not a DJ!
4.0 out of 5 stars Wow - Such High Quality
All aluminum construction. Built like a tank. Must weigh nearly 50 pounds. Excellent and huge adjustable feet. The anti-skating, tracking weight, and tonearm height adjustments work perfectly. The best cueing lever I have ever used. Dead silent operation -- you can't even tell it's on. The rotating on-off switch is a work of art. So is the round button that you press to make the platter start turning, which reaches the correct speed - and stops - in a quarter-turn. The heavy rubber-coated aluminum platter is completely flat. The rubber mat and felt slip pad are really nice. The blue lighting is really nice to look at. The LED cartridge light is invaluable when lowering the needle at night. This turntable is fabulous. My vinyl has never sounded better. Two minor gripes: No hinges on the dust cover and the tonearm wires should be of a larger gauge.Update Nov 7, 2023. This was a major upgrade from the belt drive audiophile TT I was previously using. I just added a Fosi Box X2 Phono Preamp and an Ortofon Blue Cartridge. My 45 RPM Analogue Productions Doors LPs have come alive like never before. You really don't need to spend $2500 plus on a Technics.Update April 9, 2024. I upgraded to the Ortofon Black cartridge and Cambridge Audio Duo phono preamp - a combination that was able to extract more detail from loud/busy/complex musical passages. This turntable is not going to hold you back at all. The tube phono preamp is awesome for jazz but cannot keep up with the Duo on other types of music like JETHRO TULL.Update October 12, 2024: Been using this for a year and recently purchased a Technics SL1200MK7 and ended up sending it back due to quality control issues - the platter wasn't flat and the underside of the platter had rubber coming loose. This Pioneer has better QC and is an all-around better performer for less money so I bought a second PLX1000 for home audio use. The Technics tables are all made is Malaysia now and they can't hold a candle to the former Japan-made versions. Pretty sad. If this Pioneer table had a hinged dust cover I would give it 5 stars.Update March 8, 2025: I've been using two of these PLX1000 turntables for the last six months - I got a second one since the price/performance ratio is so good. These tables allow me to conveniently experiment with many different combinations of cartridges and phono preamps. I A/B'd this table with a Rega P3 and could not tell one from the other as far as sound quality. Using the Rega I could always hear the unit running and there was some slight humming coming from the speakers but the music easily drowned it out so no big deal. The PLX1000 is dead silent by comparison. I am sure the lighter and stiffer Rega arm with integrated head shell tracks better but I couldn't hear the results of that. Since the PLX1000 has easily swappable headshells, and runs completely silent, I would recommend it over the Rega. I would bet money that you would never be able to detect any sound improvement between the PLX1000 and the most expensive Technics SL1200G variation currently available for $4,300.00. Folklore claims the Technics tonearm to be better than that on the PLX1000 but I beg to differ. The fit and finish on the PLX1000 arm is flawless (see image). Also, the optical speed control on the PLX1000 is more accurate than the magnetic speed control on the Technics - not that you could ever hear the difference (both more accurate than any belt drive turntable). I mentioned previously that the wiring in the tonearm is of a small gauge; in fact it's the same gauge as the wiring in the head shell, so I am skeptical that a thicker gauge would make any difference. What advantage would be derived by transitioning from fine silver-tinned headshell wiring to heavier silver-tinned wiring in the arm prior to reaching the RCA terminals on the back? That makes no sense but I mention it because it's a frequent gripe often posited by Technics fanboys who love to poo poo this "cheap imitation" of their beloved turntable.

Tube unos technis m5g... Y estos son muy parecidos... La verdad son muy potentes versátiles con el +-8..16..50... Y el tacto al po er un disco es.... Maravilla!!!!
Pioneer PLX-1000: Muy buen producto y servicio de entrega
Excelente equipo: tanto la estética, como lo robusto de su construcción, y SOBRE TODO la CALIDAD del sonido.NO TENGO NINGUNA queja sobre el desempeño de la tornamesa; excelente manera de devolvernos a los años 70 u 80 y poder no solo escuchar con el oido sino sentir con el resto de los sensores del cuerpo, UN SONIDO MONO o STEREO NATURAL. Usando una pastilla y aguja Shure M44-7 es toda una experiencia.No la puedo comparar con ningún otro equipo, es un Rock Star por mérito propio.Muy alta razón Beneficio/Costo.
Audiophile, purchased for home use only
I've had many quality turntables, a mint condition Linn LP12 & a Kenwood 7010 to name a few.External build quality is not up to the standard of those decks with some plastic finishes, but it weighs a ton and the function of the unit itself is perfect, importantly the sound quality is superb.I would rate the audio quality at least on par with the other 2 tables previously listed so it is a heavy hitter.At the price, I think it's cost for the resulting audio reproduction is amazing and I would highly recommend to the fussy golden eared ones amongst us.Whether they could lower themselves to listen to a modern direct drive is another issue but the back ground is super quiet, sound staging amazing, clarity is stellar and the bass-taught, powerful & clean, definitely more bottom end bravado than what I'm accustomed too.The deck was a breeze to set up, I would highly recommend this great value turntable.
Good TT
Received my Pioneer PLX-1000 month ago. The TT quality is good. But be prepared for some custom adjustment. There are some differences from "parent" Technics TT. The minimum cartridge height for this TT is 19mm, but lot of cartridges have the 18mm height. So, it was required to use 2mm shim with Ortofon cartridge to correctly set VTA. Also the overhang is 54mm instead of 52mm, so its not possible to use the Technics Needle Adjustment Gauge. Overal this TT is excelent.
