Best choice! I'm actually a Pioneer brand loyalist when it comes to stereo, etc. Our old family stereo since I was in college way back in late 80s is still working! This turntable works so well in vinyls even in used ones. Can't hear much static sound, smooth, perfect speed. Style is classic, easy to operate. Though you still need to get a good speaker too to hear the best sound you like. It's vinyl, kinda old school so don't you forget that:))

Easily the best pitch-accurate fully-automatic home audio component turntable for the entry level price! The redbook quality sound reproduction is a given, and expected of the stylus used and the deck model itself, but having the pitch control for me is crucial to the listening experience. Basically, the Pioneer PL-990 comes from the same bones (and thus the same hi-fi sonic quality) of home-use component turntable models by Sony, Denon and Audio Technica which generally feature fully automatic cueing, tonearm return and shut off, pre-set tracking force and built-in phono pre-amp. The only difference with the PL-990 is the pitch control dial which is why I bought it. I cannot, do not and will not, trust turntables with pre-set pitch. Ever! So having pitch accuracy to go with the already high quality audio output makes for vinyl LP listening experience on par with CD.

After not having a turntable for nearly 30 years, I finally bought this Pioneer turntable to listen to albums again. And I am so glad I did. The product was easy to put together and my albums sound like they did 40+ years ago. I had a small hiccup with sound when connecting to my receiver but it was easily rectified by plugging into the AUX. I am very happy with my choice.

Has all the features of an expensive turntable and great sound but the RCA cable is very short. It's OK if your turntable is close to the receiver but you'll need to buy a coupler and extend the wires if the units are on separate shelves

I had an old turntable that decided to retire. It was solid, well built and had several options to balance, etc. This one is fine but doesn’t have many features. Also comes with pre-amp so cannot plug into turntable inputs on amp.

Installed very easy , plays good. Would recommend to friends,

Pioneer is the very best!!! Pioneer is the absolute best for quality sound!! If you have albums and dying to play them on quality equipment that you can hear every instrument being played on the album, get Pioneer!! To me, it's way better than Bose! Loving my turntable and receiver. The quality is superb! Thanks Pioneer!! You never disappoint me!!

perfect-works just as I hoped. couldnt be happier a ok +1

A little trouble with getting the speed just right but after a few plays it kicked into proper gear.

Great turntable After having to replace our turntable that we’ve had for 35 years decided on this turntable Can’t go wrong

I bought this turntable for playing my albums and 45 rpm records. Plays great. love the stereo sound. A good price for this purchase.

It has been a year now and product has held up well. Kids have enjoyed using it as well. Easy to setup and use.

this turntable works like a dream sounds great! Pioneer has the best reliable equipment!

No assembly needed just plug it in and play. Simple and sounds great!

Good entry level turntable. Was able to create a solid set up on a budget.

I have always had great performance from Pioneer products. Best Buy had it available and at a great price.

Better sound and quality with this belt driven record player. Love the automatic player.

I bought this turntable to replace my old one. So far so good.

Bought this for a friend and she loved it. Perfect gift

I had purchased the turntables to replace a older unit that gave up. Followed the instructions and it sounded horrible. Thinking that my preamp was bad I got another from Best Buy While that improved the volume. It still sounds bad. Back to the store I go Had to wait a week for this. And a week for the pre amp.
