Teardown of Pioneer PLX-1000 - a look at the insides

**funkyant** · 02-08-2015, 12:38 PM

I've started a new technical/ educational blog for DJs, VJs, and people just generally into professional Audio Visual and electronics.

I'm new at this, all feedback is welcome

Here is my second video where I tear apart a brand new PLX-1000 and take a look at the interior build and design quality, and discover its pretty terrible feedback rejection performance

Yikes so glad I watched that I will not be buying these now.

Haven't watched the full video yet but you drove right past my old apartment building in Dubai (Marina)! Used to drive that route everyday as well from Abu Dhabi.

I watched this video yesterday, and it was very informative.

I was wondering how good the PLX-1000 would be. Sad to see that there are some serious flaws.

OK, good video even though I wasn't really interested in purchasing any it gives just a little insight into not only what is available in the market but what the corporate decisions were that ultimately produced the TTs.
BTW do you live at Media One? I used to walk there on Wednesdays for drink specials.

It's not really a big surprise. If Technics had no profit in manufacturing a HQ turntable (even when R&D and tooling for it was paid off decades ago) then the only way that another company would make profit in selling copies is by lowering the quality of components. There was some talk about intentionally selling units below profit line just for the sake of brand but this video clearly shows where the cuts were made to drop the price.
