Whats Included
- Pioneer Stereo Turntable
Q: will this hook up to my receiver
A: i own a older pioneer receiver and had no problem hooking it up
Q: Can you adjust the balance of this tone arm?
A: No, you can not adjust the balance of this tone arm.
A: It refers to the whole end where the needle is inserted.
Q: Does the turntable come with the RCA cords to connect to the amp?
A: Yes but they're short, about a foot long
Q: Can the phono cartridge of the Pioneer pl 990 be removed and replaced with another cartridge?
A: No you can not change the cartridge. The tone arm is not adjustable and is calibrated for the cartridge that it ships with. Therefore you wouldn't want to change the cartridge. You can however change the stylus. There are inexpensive options available that will improve the sound. I saw a demo online of someone changing it to an "elliptical" for less than $10. This did improve the sound, but to be honest this table sounds great out of the box. You should also note that you can not disable the built in pre-amp. This table is pretty much the same as the Audio Technica LP-60, but the Pioneer features a strobe light for speed/pitch adjustment where the AT does not. This table is certainly better than many others available in the price range.
A: Should work just fine. Turntable has a white and red plug that should be connected to the AUX port on your receiver.
A: the turntable does inded have a built in preamp and the outputs are line level. it plugs into your amp or mixer the same way as a CD player. It also works well with self powered speakers.
Q: Can the strobe light be switched off.?
A: no it cannot however it is a dim red light that you don't really notice from the other side of the room
