Low Cost Turntable - Incredible Performance

I highly recommend the Pioneer PL-30-K Belt Drive Line Output Automatic Turntable. Amazon offers for $400 but new in box are $299 on eBay now. I owned higher-end TTs and I can say this TT sounds as good. It is not well known compared to other brands, Replace the low end AT3600 cartridge though. A bonus is it is fully automatic. IMO you cannot go wrong with this purchase.

@yogiboy 

thanks for the link. Does not make in any clearer either.

In example of variation of 33.42 and 33.26 that results in either a +/- 0.24% variation, or overall delta of 0.48%. Not clear which one would be cited. I still do not understand how that relates to >/<4 Hz.

The table only gives the combined value of Wow&Flutter. It should be possible to give separate values for wow only and flutter only.

Then I guess my TT W&F @ 0.005% is pretty dang goot.

"I don’t know what you’d have to spend for a comparable newer tt, but I bet it’s a lot more than I paid for my Denon!"

 

Definitely agree with this guy....
