Pros and cons

According to our record player expert

A direct-drive record player responds to corrections faster than a belt-drive record player.
You can get started right away with the included needle and element.
With the record player, you can digitize LP records onto your computer.
You need a special vinyl record to use the DVS system.
The PLX-500's torque is less powerful than that of the PLX-1000.

Description

Play your vinyl records in high quality with the Pioneer DJ PLX-500. Thanks to the direct-drive motor mechanism, the player reacts to corrections faster than a player with a belt-drive system. This makes it easier to beatmatch the records. The turntable comes with a needle and an element, so you can put your record on the turntable and play it right away. Do you want to digitize LP records? The Pioneer DJ Rekordbox software makes this possible. You can also use the player in your DVS setup. In that case, you open the Rekordbox software and select the digital song your want to play. Then, you use the buttons of the record player to start and stop the music. You can also beatmatch with this record player. This way, you can play digital music while it feels like you're using vinyls.

Beautiful device

After more than 40 years of loyal service, my old turntables were allowed to retire and the prospection could start for 2 new turntables. After a long search I came across these Pioneers. Read a lot of reviews and tests and after a while the only doubt was the color but eventually opted for the white version. Immediately pleasantly surprised when unpacking, because the devices are firmly packed in a double cardboard box and the corresponding filling material. Everything is neatly secured in the box but you have to be careful not to lose some small parts in the packaging material. Putting the turntable together is a piece of cake, the installation is child's play, leveling is of course done on the turntable itself (and not on the dust cover). The turntable feels sturdy (and it is) and after the necessary adjustments you can get started. So far (after 4 weeks of use) I can mention some minor negative points: At 45rpm the pitch should be slightly off zero. (Apparently a problem that has been around for a while... Too bad Pioneer hasn't addressed this yet There is no intermediate position for the dust cover… either it is open or closed. I find this rather annoying because in position "open" the hood takes up quite a bit of volume! There is only 1 adjustable leg to level the turntable ... this is not enough because you can only adjust in one direction ... what if you have to adjust in the other direction? (solved it with pieces of paper)

A tip for all turntable enthusiasts: if you buy turntables from this price range (or higher), invest in a digital needle pressure gauge (±25€) and a turntable spirit level (±20€). With these tools you can adjust your turntable perfectly and you can check it on a regular basis.

Record pleasure for the next 10-15 years

Simple construction
Delivered quickly
Easy in use
Short audio connection cables, extension cable to amplifier probably needed

Looks like the Technics SL1200-mk2 in everything, but it was (even 2nd hand) outside my planned budget (
