You will have to drill small pilot holes to attach the hinge mounts to the lower ABS plastic plinth.
I ended up buying a Reloop dust cover that comes with the necessary hinges and screws that attach it to the player. Luckily, my PLX-1000 did not exhibit any of the above issues.īTW, there is one irritating thing about the Pioneer. Noisy motor (motor bearing plate can become loose in shipping).Working Anti-skating (it is said this issue was fixed in later production models).Hanpin players are noted to have very inconsistent quality control. If you buy ANY Hanpin clone player, you must check the following items. Wow and Flutter is less than 0.01% (spec sheet shows 0.1% but Pioneer has stated it was a misprint). The player is very heavy, tipping the scales at 29 lbs. Does NOT have a built-in pre-amp (they are known to be pretty crappy and affects sound negatively).Rubber tubing inserted in tonearm to reduce resonance.The ~$300 OEM models and the $600+ Super-OEM players.Īfter studying all the different variants, I went with the super-OEM Pioneer PLX-1000 player. Note that there are actually two levels of players. There are several available, from Stanton, Reloop, Audio Technica, Pioneer, Gemini, Numark and Vestax. I decided to look at one of the Technics clones (they are all made by Hanpin of Taiwan and made in China). I understand Technics is re-releasing the SL1200 but the prices are obnoxious, the limited edition is $4000 (if you can find one), the regular model is $1700 and a stripped lightweight model will be $1000 coming this summer. All of the Technics were at least 10 years old, most were older. Some had warped platters, others had shot bearings in the gimbals which means the tone arm is useless. A common problem is that the anti-skating was broken and that cannot be fixed. Almost everyone is asking for $600+, but were missing a lot of parts, such as the original rubber mat, headshells, stylus alignment gauge, dust covers (non-existent or cracked).
Most of the used players I checked were used as DJ players and a lot were in sad condition. I was considering buying a used Technics SL1200/1210 Mk V but pickings are pretty scarce. I had a couple of recent belt-drive players and I did not like them (Dual CS-5000 and a Rega 2). It still works but it's nearly forty years old and who knows how much longer it's going to last. The automatic function no longer works, the gel-filled mat is now a hard lumpy mess.
#PIONEER TURNTABLE UPGRADE#
It comes with a turntable sheet, a slip mat, a dust cover, a head shell, a balance weight, a sub weight, a shell weight, an adapter for EP records, a power cord, a stereo RCA audio cable, and a ground wire.I wanted to upgrade my long in the tooth Sony PS-X7 direct drive turntable (1980?). The turntable allows for tempo adjustments of ☘%, ☑6%, and ±50%, with a reset button for instant ☐% fixed rotation speed. An integrated Kensington lock allows you to secure the turntable to the DJ booth. For convenience and durability the turntable features detachable power and RCA audio cables to prevent turntable failure as a result of cable failure. The tonearm uses rubber insulation to minimize howling effects, and the RCA jacks are gold-plated for lower impedance signals and improved sound quality. The unit's base is reinforced with a 9mm thick vibration dampening material for stable playback. The turntable is built with a heavy-mass zinc die-cast chassis with a reinforced bottom made of 8mm thick resin. The high-torque motor is capable of at least 4.5 kg/cm of torque and can reach a rotational speed of 33 1/3 rpm in 0.3 seconds. The table utilizes a high-torque direct drive motor and a classic layout that DJs are familiar with, including tempo control, a start/stop button, and a lighted speed guide.
