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....

"I happen to still believe you're better off investing in some of the used direct drive tables of the 80s and 90s"

I couldn't agree more. My new to me Sony PS-X50 is awesome with a wow/flutter of 0.025.
