Features

  • The high-torque direct drive ensures stable rotation and exceptional control and it reaches 3313 rpm in just 0.3 seconds thanks to a starting torque of 4.5kg/cm
  • Features rubber-insulated tonearm, which reduces howling effects, while rubber and springs on the dampening parts of the insulator absorb external vibrations
  • Multi-tempo control lets you instantly pick up or slow down the track to 8%, 16%, and 50%, while a simple reset button immediately reverts to 0%
  • Interchangeable power and audio cables can be easily connected and replaced, while pro-grade gold-plated RCA jacks ensure low impedance
  • The lower part of the unit is reinforced with 8mm-thick resin, plus 9mm-thick, vibration-damping material at the base

  • great turntable
love this turntable I am not a dj but the sound and looks bring me back to the 70's

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Good servo/stepper motor. _NOT_ used for DJ'ing
It's well made and whichever servo/stepper motor they're using has very good torque, at least in context of a turntable. Using a 12bit magnetic encoder (AS5600) and an ESP32 I started the record from the outer perimeter and played it for ~30% of it's radius and I measured no significant loss. I couldn't figure out a reliable way to measure the loss after a pick up by a DJ (where it's measurable the most), but I imagine as a DJ you know if it's acceptable or not. At the risk of being a little rash, I've read that people have an alignment problem with the arm but I don't think they understand either how to adjust it and/or how its normal operating mechanics work. Regardless, after using a few adjustment videos, printing out a few adjustment templates on paper and a pretty good quality level (Starrett), I had this setup as perfect as my non-audiophile brain can rationalize. I do think it could/should be ~$150-200 cheaper. ... show more

  • Defective unit, no support, long wait and no solution
The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 turntable through the official Pioneer DJ store on Amazon on February 9, 2025. Unfortunately, the product arrived with a factory defect — the platter is visibly misaligned and wobbles during playback, making it unusable for professional use. It's been over two months, and despite sending the invoice, video proof, and contacting both Amazon and Pioneer DJ multiple times, I still haven’t received a proper solution. The local service in Argentina denied the warranty because the unit wasn’t registered through their importer, even though it was bought from Pioneer DJ’s official Amazon store. The lack of support and the long delay in resolving a clear manufacturing issue is unacceptable. If you're outside the U.S., I strongly advise against purchasing from this store — you may end up with a defective product and no real support. ... 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
