@AnthonyI What model is that direct drive turntable? Your setup is seriously impressive!

How is this pressing? Been looking for this album, but can only find beat up originals for too much money.

I'm sure that Grado sounds incredible, I just can't get over the shape and size of the thing. It's huge!

It sounds beautiful! It is on a relatively small tonearm/headshell but yes it is a chunky old cartridge!

Thank you, it's a Pioneer PLX-1000. Built like a tank and is every bit of an "audiophile" turntable.....don't let the DJ schtick throw you

Looks or sound?

Ive been considering purchasing that table to replace my downstairs turntable. I'd love to hear what you don't like about the Pio, because I've only heard positives thus far.

I honestly have 0 complaints, the ONLY minor nit pick would be the non-hinged cover, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. What I do love, it sounds fantastic and scratching the cart itch is much easier with a removable head shell

This is paired with a NAD C375BEE, Insight and Zu's............if my main system became something beyond repair, I would have no issues with staying with this system only.

I have it and it sounds good. I think the same French company that was responsible for the recent TTL reissue of Byrd’s Places And Spaces did this one too. Both turned out pretty great IMO.

Great to hear!. I'm am waiting on a deal on this table, hoping to get it new for below the $699 list. I have an Audio Techinca 540ml stylus on a headshell already, so it should be an easy swap to the Pio. That AT cartridge should pair really well with the table, I think too.

Indeed, keep an eye out for Guitar Center coupons, they usually have a good % Off that can be applied to the PLX, since it's "DJ Gear"

I would also bookmark Reverb, a good price on one occasionally trickles in.
