The Pioneer PL-30L II, released in 1981 during the "Gold Era" of Japanese high-fidelity audio equipment. It is a well-crafted direct drive turntable that sounds as good as it looks. It features a number of impressive technological features which result in fabulous sound. One feature is the rotor, which has the fulcrum just below the platter, which reduces wow and flutter and enhances SNR. The quartz PLL DC servo Hall motor is also excellent, developed by Pioneer and featuring micron-order processing accuracy, resulting in highly stable operation. By virtue of these advances and several others, the PL-30L II's pitch accuracy and overall sound is phenomenal. Add to this the handsome cabinet finish, and you have a turntable that is both functional and beautiful.
