Pioneer PL-7L Vintage 80s Quartz Direct Drive Turntable w/ Ceramic Tonearm 100V
The Pioneer PL-7L is a high-end Japanese direct-drive turntable introduced in 1984, built around a quartz-locked SHR motor, a massive 310 mm die-cast aluminium platter and a beautifully finished solid-wood chassis, but most prized for its rare straight ceramic oxide tonearm, a rigid, resonance-damping design that delivers exceptional detail retrieval and tracking stability. The PL-7L is celebrated among audiophiles for its superb speed accuracy, quiet operation and refined, dynamic sound, making it one of Pioneer’s most desirable flagship turntables of the 1980s.
