very good turn
love this table and beautiful white
DJPLX-500 NO DISSAPOINTMENTS
Love the sound from this turntable. My 30 plus year old belt drive Technics finally died and I was looking to upgrade. I never thought there would be so much difference but there is with this turntable. I use it only as a at home turntable hooked up to an old 70's home stereo system. Fits perfect and blast well through my Technics tower speakers. Works and sounds just like the old Technics 1200's at half the price. No regrets on this one. A perfect upgrade to or for any system

plx-500
I am very happy with this player 2 months in. It worked beautifully right out of the box. I have never used a super high end turn table for comparison but I have no complaints with this one. It feels sturdy, well built, and sounds great! Thanks sweetwater
Pioneer turntable
I"m happy with my Pioneer turntable. It"s more than I expected really. Quality still exists in the often disappointing products purchase market. Many name brands aren"t so reputable but this Pioneer does deliver. Thanks Sweetwater for your excellent service!

Best for the Price! Crisp Clean Sound!
I purchased the PLX-500 specifically for listening to my albums because recently my turntable had quit after many years of use. I'm blown away by the PLX-500 for the price I can believe how crisp it is. I run this with PreSonus Eric E5 and it sounds so crisp and clear. I'm not sure itn get ca better at this price point.
Super Easy to set up and level out. I highly recommend this!

It was between this and the Pro-Ject turntables glad I chose this one. Same sound quality sound for a cheaper price tag.
