THE PROS & CONS

This deck has a solid Pioneer build and great torque and stability for this end of the market At just under £300 each the PLX-500 won’t break the bank, unlike the laughably expensive Technics SL-1200GAE We were a bit let down by the RCA cables. They do look cheap, and aren’t detachable Like every other turntable on the market, it looks like a Technics 1210. Not a bad thing, but how about some bold design or feature decisions, deck makers?
