Description

The PLX-1000 is a professional high-torque direct-drive turntable for vinyl DJs and turntablists who want a reference-grade deck for the club or a serious home setup. Its high-torque direct-drive motor reaches 33⅓ rpm in 0.3 seconds and provides stable rotation, while the heavy, high-rigidity chassis resists vibration and feedback through demanding use. The classic professional control layout and S-shaped tonearm feel immediately familiar to working DJs, so it slots straight into a traditional booth.

For serious vinyl play, DVS setups, and turntablist practice, the PLX-1000 is built around stability, sound quality, and durability.

    • Finally, a Direct Drive for Audiophiles on a Budget!
I've been spinning vinyl for over 50 years as a budget conscious audiophile. Had everything from portable 3-speed record players, Dual 1219, belt drive Pioneers, and now this Pioneer PLX-1000 DJ deck. Also have a 3 year old Rega and an early 80's Sony DD with the "Bio Tracer" tone arm. From my home audiophile perspective, this turntable equals and exceeds my performance expectations. Audiophile desired features include: RCA output jacks, quick disconnect power, VTA tone arm adjustment, improved sound deadening in the base and tone arm, and a common easy change head shell on an "S" shaped tone arm. All features an audiophile may want in a sturdy, precision DD turntable. I have extra head shells with cartridges with my favorites being the AT7V MM and a Denon 301MKII MC. This deck keeps rock stable speed and is dead quiet in use, with NO tone arm bearing issues as a few have mentioned. I find this deck to be well made, well designed, and operates with precision, especially at this price point. These OEM clones of the original Technics 1200 decks share many similarities, but they each have their brand name signature on them, some better than others. The Pioneer PLX-1000 fills the need for most audiophiles on a budget. A recommended "Buy" for this use. ... show more

    • 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. ... show more

    • Excellent Choice for a Turntable Upgrade
I've recently returned to listening to vinyl records and conservatively started out with the entry-level, budget friendly Audio Technica LP-120 USB turntable. However I quickly outgrew it. In my search for a new one, I did a lot of reading and found audiophile reviews praising the qualities and features of the Pioneer PLX-1000. It's built for DJ's yet has all the features loved by audiophiles. It's solid with very low vibration. In comparison to the AT LP-120, the PLX is much heavier AND quieter. The LP-120 is noisy. I instantaneously noticed there's more bass and it's deep, detailed and rich. The bass came alive. The LP-120 comes with a pre-amp and the PLX 1000 does not. The AT comes with a stock AT95E cartridge and head shell and the PLX provides a head shell but no cartridge. I actually didn't mind because I never used the AT95E cart and immediately upgraded to a Sumiko Pearl and Nagaoka MP-110. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Nagaoka 200 now that I have a table worthy of it. The RCA cables are attached to the AT LP-120 and removable on the PLX. When I bought my first component stereo system decades ago, direct drive turntables were favored and more expensive than belt driven. I had a belt driven because I couldn't afford the DD. Today, I personally don't want to deal with belts when switching from 33 to 45 or spend more $$$ for the automated feature. Which reminds me, the AT has a 78 but the PLX does not. If you're looking to upgrade your table, take a look at the Pioneer PLX 1000. ... show more

    • It's was worth it, was hesitant at first but it's what I end up getting no regrets.
It's worth it, if you're thinking of buying the Pioneer DJ PLX 500 save your money and buy this one. It's so good and is worth it even if you have to buy your own cartridge for the head shell, if you're looking for a home turntable or DJ the Pioneer PLX 1000 is the best for your money the speed is on point both for the 33rpm and 45rpm with the amazing motor that it's rocking. 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. ... show more

    • 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! ... show more

    • Close to Perfect
I was shocked by the high quality fit and finish of this table for the price. The platter is completely flat and well damped with rubberized material molded-on to the underside. The controls are smooth with an excellent tactile feel to them. The unit operates in dead silence - no white noise, humming, buzzing etc. The all-aluminum table seems to weigh around 40 pounds. The cueing lever is very smooth and easy to operate. If only it had a two-tone or silver finish to the base, and a hinged dust cover. ... show more

    • 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. ... show more
