Pioneer DJ PLX-500-K Direct Drive DJ Turntable, Black

Got this to replace an old Numark turntable and it is absolutely brilliant! Wow and flutter is greatly reduced as this is solid and got a bit of weight to it. it also has a line level output so no preamp required the sound quality is superb. I also like the strobe and pitch control and stylus illumination looks really cool it also has a dust cover. It is quite pricey but well worth the money I would highly recommend this

Great product

Love the sound. It feels premium and solid despite not being metal. Thoroughly worth the wait, though it did take some messaging to Amazon to kickstart the delivery as it was stuck somewhere

I bought this to replace my Pioneer 112D turntable ( vintage 1978 ) which still works well but has developed a bit of a rumble! It fits in well with the rest of my hifi system. Easy to set up, clear and easy instructions. I look forward to rediscovering some classic vinyl albums. Prompt next day delivery. Thank you.👍

The media could not be loaded. I bought this as an upgrade from a bottom of the barrel suit case style record player as I wanted to start buying video game soundtracks on vinyl. The difference is unbelievable. There's actually really good bass, in fact all the frequencies you need are there and it sounds glorious. I'm delighted by this record player and It looks lovely too in my Game Room extension. The only thing that's not so good is the phono cable is wired in, but I knew that before I bought it.

If you are like me and have constant regret for selling you’re 1210’s for pennies years ago and then have the double hit of regret when seeing the price they are going for now then I know your pain. Been after a turntable for a while after my vinyl revival during covid..: Didn’t want to pay £1000’s so just wanted a decent direct drive turntable to go with my CDJ900’s . For the money this ticks all the boxes , good sound quality, good solid plate , solid arm and weighting and good response from the pitch and 33/45 buttons but it’s cheap for a reason this PLX500 model looks cheap close up… The body is ok but is borderline on the looks scale, I hate the power on/off switch, it’s housed in a nasty looking plastic that looks like a recycled party popper and the feet look extremely cheap. Bit of a mish mash of colour on some of the finishes , the pitch slider is black along with the light and 33/45 buttons , think the power on/off would of looked better being black as well… But if you can over look the cheap alternatives and stop remembering that solid 1210 look then this is a great turntable. Simple to put together and setting up the arm and needle was a doddle. Comes with a dust cover but I can’t use it for where the player is placed but that is solid enough. You also get the phono and laptop recording leads I’ve haven’t done this yet but can’t see why the would be an issue. So overall it looks cheap but good sound quality and for that reason it’s worth taking the plunge on this.

They are not quite Technics 1200/1210s but they are still very nice turntables. I got them as I couldn't afford to buy some new Technics and these are basically 2 for 1 compared to the price of Technics.They look and feel solid and are nice to mix on. Would recommend to anyone either starting out or cannot afford new Technics.

Great turntable, I use for home DJ setup - it’s perfect. Wish it had a little more torque, but you learn to get used to it. I love the design of these, simple - red strobe, pop up led tracking light.Would just say to the price gouges you are pathetic! If you are interested, go check out some of the online DJ sites, you shouldn’t be paying more than £270, £299 max per item!With that said, great bit of kit for home use! You’ll love it - got a Orfoton cart for them - so don’t know what the sound quality is like of the standard carts. Also, sound works in phono mode like a normal turntable - no power sound still comes through, which means you can do the whole vinyl stop. I had reservations thought it may be going through some DSP - but so pleased it’s not, from stylus to speaker!
