A REBORN CLASSIC
The PLX-1000 is precision engineered for the booth, drawing on 50 years’ experience of making high-end turntables. The result is a familiar layout with some next generation improvements, including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build and sound quality, and detachable power and audio cables. It’s solidly built for excellent vibration damping and ultra-precise, high-grade audio playback. Simply add your choice of cartridge and stylus to the PLX-1000 (not included) and combine with your mixer for an ideal setup for turntablists.
The Pioneer PLX 1000 turntable is the new industry standard for vinyl and ‘DVS’ system DJs alike. This Direct Drive Analog turntable was designed with superior sound quality and the needs of the modern working DJ mind. The Pioneer PLX 1000 turntable has kept to a classic, clean look, with no unnecessary bells and whistles. The PLX 1000 is a true workhorse and suitable for both DJs and home listeners who enjoy the look, feel, and performance of vinyl for music playback. The PLX 1000 is a very viable alternative to the now discontinued Technics 1200.
Pioneer PLX 1000: Close to the "original"
Pioneer has kept it’s design close to the ‘original’ Technics SL-1200 but with several added improvements. These improvements including a high-torque direct drive system, multi-pitch control, club-grade build, superior sound quality and detachable power and RCA audio cables (essentially saving you from costly repairs down the road). Where the original SL-1200 could pitch between + and - 8% the Pioneer PLX 1000’s pitch is divided into three different ranges - 8%, 16% and 50%. The +/- 16% can bridge the gap between 33RPM and 45RPM, and the +/- 50% opens the door for some extreme creativity in ‘juggles’ and ‘mixing’ alike. The turntable can achieve a starting torque of at least 4.5kg/cm and can reach its fixed rotation speed within 0.3 seconds (at 33 1/3 rpm).
Pioneer PLX 1000 Stability
A concern with all turntables is their sensitivity to vibrations. Pioneer has recognized this and has developed a few clever solution to combat this. The inside of the tonearm has a rubber tubing to reduce the ’howling’ effect. The upper part of the turntable’s main body is made of a heavy metal die cast zinc, while the bottom section is made from a solid 8mm think resin, with a base consisting of 9mm of thick vibration-resistant material. The result is a turntable ready to handle the most vibration full environment.

The best I've ever heard as a DJ using this pair of cartridges and stills. Fortunately, I spoke with Grant's, who helped me with my choice.

No Frills work horse
Can't go wrong with a solid performing workhorse head shell prewired for you to just fit the cartridge. It is an SME bayonet fit - for "S" shaped tone arms like that used by technics on their Turntables and you just cannot ask for more at the price point. Works well for both the 2M and the new MC X range of cartridges. I have a 2M Black MM and X40 MC fitted to this head shell - no problems working well.

Right out of the box - no run-in it sounds open and transparent.
Open and transparent - solid bass, beautiful mid range and highs.
Tight is the word and low surface noise.
With everything equal - sound is open, extracting all there is in the grove.
A step up - yes - from the 2M black.
40 hours they say to run-in - going to be a sound experience.
Best buy for me - sure to bring me pleasure for hours.
A worthy cartridge to try and a keeper.

Decksaver - saver of the decks
This product is really great! I'm impressed. It fit's very snugly and offers support and protection in a very clever and simple way. I've not had to test it, but I feel confident it will do what it says on the tin.....just not maybe under the weight of a human....but you never know! :) I recommend it!

Quality cable
Bought two of these for Playback duties. I have used poor cables in the past and paid the price. Bought these cables years ago and they never let me down. Bought another set for another band Playback setup. Never let me down.

Pioneer DDJXP2 Add-On Controller
I've only just started using it but it is awesome! It's exactly how I thought it would work with my turntables and my DJM-250MK2. It's configured so I can use my favourite effects (echo, cut, stems, stems echo out, reverb). Looping is great. Can't be happier with the unit.

DECKSAVER Polycarbonate Dust Cover for Pioneer XDJ-RR
I’m really happy with this Decksaver cover for my Pioneer XDJ-RR! The fit is absolutely perfect, it snaps on securely and covers everything it should without any gaps. The polycarbonate material feels sturdy and gives me peace of mind that my controller is well protected from dust, spills, and accidental bumps.
The delivery was surprisingly fast, and the seller’s communication throughout the process was excellent. They kept me updated and were quick to respond to my questions.
If you own an XDJ-RR, this cover is a must-have investment to keep your gear in top condition. Highly recommended!

awesome controller
I am 45 years old..i got my first turn tables and mixer when i was 16 or 17
i actually started out mixing happy hardcore/trance which eventually turn in to jungle\drum and bass..the hip hop elements of early drum and bass got me into actual hip hop and scratching and the four elements so to speak...in saying that..i feel the jog wheels could have got motorization for the price....stems feels a bit like cheating but that's just me and can also sound a little a.i.. you can actually blow on the crossfader and it will move would of been nice to adjust the feel of that...otherwise mean product...staff were great to deal with over the phone and got it sent to the south island extra quick thanks guys
