This is an entry-level turntable in the sense that it is good quality, and won't destroy your vinyl. It is obviously a good bit more expensive than many other turntables, but worth the price if you are at all serious about preserving your collection. The only downside is that it does not have phono outputs. However, it apparently has a good quality preamplifier inside (unconfigurable), as it sounds more or less identical, using the aux input to the same amp, to the Dual CS503-1, which only has phono outputs. It is ideal for basic 'automatic' use. To play a record that is on the turntable, you press a play button, and it automatically finds the beginning of the record, press the stop button and it resets to the arm rest. It also has an 'arm elevation' button, which is effectively a pause function, lifting the arm until you press again. You can manually position the arm before pressing to continue. This means that you can fairly safely point other people to play your records and look cool about it. I recommend it highly if a) you are willing to give up control of the signal that phono outputs might give you with high end amplifiers, and b) you want to make sure your partner and other friends don't destroy your collection without coming across as someone who has invested a bit too much emotion in their collection.Read full review

For the value of this unit from Pioneer and i bought this for £129 is brilliant, it does everything you need from a record player. I have read all the other reviews for this before i bought mine, and the 4 and 3 stars didn't put me off. Pioneer have always made quality stuff for years as far as i can remember so they know what they're doing. Ok you can buy the high end market but at this price for quality and sound when plugged into your amp is brilliant. Like other people have said and it says this in the manual, dont put this into your existing Phono outputs as this unit has pre-amps so it will hum if you do, plug it into the Aux socket but not to worry if you dont have a spare output in the back of your amp because you can buy a splitter connector for £1.50 (i bought two L/R) and you can plug this into your existing cd/tape acting as an Aux so you have two units going through one and it works fine, but most modern amps have countless inputs and outputs anyway (I'm a bit retro with my set up) and the sound from this is brilliant, plenty of depth where bass and treble are concerned. You dont get that with cheap modern all-in-one Hi-Fi's these days so this really does do the trick and not only does it sound good, it has a red strobe on the front to set your record at the correct speed which is really handy..and looks cool as hell too, all the automatic buttons are there so you rarely have to touch the needle/stylus, it does it for you...cool! This is a modern unit and you wont have to search for international sellers to order parts like a replacement stylus or belt should you need to...you can pick them up everywhere so thats not a problem. Minor faults with this is only the stylus arm doesnt click onto the holder when not in use and there is no off button apart from the mains of course but eveything else is just ace, unless your a perfectionist and have loads of money...Brilliant!Read full review
Pioneer have made some amazing turntables over the years this tuntable is well made in come from the 1980s & was fitted with a MC cart not the MM cart found on most lower end Decks you can't go wrong buying this turntable the real sleeper is the PL-930 now that deck can take on the PL-4000 in sound & builed & will beat any Rega turntable for sound it will even take on the Denon Turntables I should know I've had them over the years I always fined myself going back to Pioneer for some reason I've even got the PLX-1000 but I like the good old decks from the golden age of the 80s MC cart and stylus was the last stand to take on the CD player but we all moved on to CD it was too late until the come back

Pioneer has been around for years, this item has been added to equipment I already have that dates back to the 90's It is well made and produces a very good sound. Pioneer seems to produce consistently high quality goods. If anything the only bad point is it has no phono out but has to be connected into an aux input on the amp.
