Pioneer PL-630 Turntable??



Anyone with any experience with this vintage table? How does it compare with the Denon DP-45F/47F or the JVC QL-Y7 or the Marantz 6300. Thanks for responses.

Dear Wepratt: I owned and really like it after too many years my " venerable " 630 is still spinning on my brother system. IMHO is a better TT than the Denon/Marantz.

Regards and enjoy the music.

That's saying something--that Marantz 6300 was pretty danged good.

I had a Hitachi DD from that era that was a real sleeper. I've had a hard time even finding pics of it online. It imaged like a bandit, especially with a Grado Z1+. I was surprised that--as good as the Technics SL12x0 series is from that era, I think this Hitachi spread a better soundstage. That's also how I remember the Marantz.
Dear Johnnyb53: The 630 has very good DD design, it is very well isolated and the tonearm is really good. The Marantz is a fine item too ( I owned ) but I prefer this Pioneer.

Regards and enjoy the music.
