its uncanny Gene, i was just recently looking at getting one of these Pioneer's to tide me over while i'm turntable-less.. i look forward to hearing your thoughts on setting it up and how it performs
Hopefully no damage. But I'd expect the customary 1-2 days late via Fedex. They have to be the worst shipper of the big three. Tracking is typically a mess. Late packages. Lost packages. Lost packages that are found a week or two later. Scheduled deliveries that were canceled (sometimes claiming "at the request of the customer"). I've experienced all those things with Fedex. I've often wondered why businesses use them. It must be a cost thing.And.....it's been shipped! Hopefully, it doesn't get tossed around via FedEx.
Sure it will work. Any standard 1/2" mount cartridge will fit. But that AT is probably of lessor quality than the Ortofons you already have.Hey gang - will this cart work on the PLX-1000? Any issues you see? I really don't want to spend more....give or take a few dollars.
I used to be an AT guy, until I Ortofoned my way out and I haven't looked back since!Hey gang - will this cart work on the PLX-1000? Any issues you see? I really don't want to spend more....give or take a few dollars.

Yeah. Well, I thought I might keep my OM30 on my ProJect.......and sell it. Heck, I dunno.I used to be an AT guy, until I Ortofoned my way out and I haven't looked back since!
The TT just shipped. And, it's coming from Florida......WHAT??? you have not installed that BEAUTY YET????
SHAME ON YOU!!!!! (I know, I also "ignore" my new gear a few days before I finally install it! I have to do some MAJOR rearranging in my room and I keep putting it off cause of my back but that's another story!)
WE WANT PICTURES!!!!
1/2 inch mount. Where in the description of all these carts, does it tell me this info? Or, in general, are you saying any cart that has that sort of boxy look....is a 1/2" mount?Sure it will work. Any standard 1/2" mount cartridge will fit. But that AT is probably of lessor quality than the Ortofons you already have.
It IS a BEAUTY!!!! Can't wait for you to get it and install it and take pictures(and share them!)The TT just shipped. And, it's coming from Florida......
It SHOULD be good enough. If it were a "cheapo" TT then, I would worry, but not with this Pioneer one...Some folks like to get a "high end" headshell but it would be up to you...Another rather NOOB question. Is a headshell, a headshell? Or, are some much better than others? Should I worry about the stock headshell that comes with the PLX-1000? Good enough?

It doesn't say, at least not on Amazon. But anything that has a mounting plate with those two hole cutouts is pretty much a 1/2" mount. Its the defacto standard. I'm not even sure if modern cartridges even have any other spacing standard. My guess would be, if they have a non-standard mount, they would certainly state that.
EDIT: it does state it when you buy it with headshell

Its like I said... FedexReally? 1 day? I doubt it....but my hair will be on fire if it does arrive tomorrow.
