Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable

I bought these to replace my Vestax PDX-2000's that I've had for years, and I am not disappointed in the slightest. I considered buying a new set of Technics 1210's (although I've never owned a set of Technics), but they are really expensive. So my best options were to buy a second hand set of 1210's or a brand new set of these. After reading a lot of positive reviews, I bought these and I'm sure I made the right choice! Really good build quality, powerful motor and selectable +/- 8, 16 + 50% pitch options. Highly recommended.

Very high quality turntable, working clearly, very easy to set up, cool design, is not very heavy, and I think it's best of the best at the moment.

This is a great turntable from Pioneer extremely easy to use but also does everything you need it tornrnI brought these as an upgrade from my old Technics SL12010 mk2 and am more than happy with the decisionrnrnSexy looks and solid build quality

Easy to set-up and use, quiet running great speed control. Solidly built. I use it for hifi and it sounds great to me. Only problem I've found is with using Moving Coil Cartridges - both my Ortofon and Audio Technica MC cartridges produce noticeable hum. I don't have the same problem with the moving magnet cartridges. Maybe its the direct drive system inducing a current into the coils of the MC cartridges - or maybe it's just the greater amplification needed for MC that makes the hum noticeable. Still it's irritating.

Quality. Nuff said

Absolutely quality.

Been using my new PLX 1000 for a couple of week pretty much every day, it’s everything I expect from Pioneer, quality build, really nice to touch and works brilliantly.

Sturdy, well made and looks slick!

Having sold my decks back in 2004 I decided to get my vinyl out of storage and have a play. As I lived locally I went to the warehouse/display centre and tested everything out. Really helpful staff and gave me some great advice.

Solidly built with a great sound. Wasn't looking for a DJ turntable but for reasonably priced audiophile equipment. After reading the PLX-1000 review on a stereophile blog I found I could have a DJ deck at audiophile level quality.

This is a cracking piece of kit. Solid build, excellent sound quality. My DJ mate has 2 of them and really rates them.

Why spend 600 quid each per 2nd hand deck on ebay, of which are all old (obviously) and you don't really know how have been treated, and most sellers standards of the word 'mint' judging by photos leave a lot to be desired! Glad I chose these over the reloop rp range, Quality, Quality, Quality, plugged them in and the regret of having to sell my 1210's 8 years ago vanished within seconds..... Just like riding a bike!!! Really like the feature of widening the pitch range and didn't want all the connect to traktor bumf, so ideal! Extremely comfortable to play on, everything tight as can be, no messing!

Would recommend any Vinyl DJ's out there to grab a pair of these. Solid decks and have some great features on them such as pitch reset and different pitch ranges. Pitch riding on these feels great too, Kenny ken/10

really good pair of professional turntables a bit pricey but a good alternative to the legendary technics

Just both them and cannot say anything bad about them. Perfect copy of MK2 classic. Perfect heavy body, strong g torch and perfect manipulation. Go for it

I have had these for awhile now and can honestly say that I am really enjoying them. They are in my opinion just as good as a pair of Technics SL-1210's. The pitch controls operate and hold the speed just like a Technics deck but what I really love about the Pioneer PLX 1000's is the extra torque. Fantastic. I would recommend these to anyone whose not to sure or sitting on the fence. Once you get used to them you will love them.

Great product with overall good build quality. Next best thing from the Technics 1210's.

I must say I'm very impressed with this turntable as a whole. From build quality to performance I can't fault it...

What a good twist from something old. Really good piece of kit with a great build and finish!!
