Well, I've gotten plenty of responses as to the quality or deficiencies of the PLX 1000, and even some political comments,but almost none about it's ancestry, my original question! One response suggested a relationship to the Onyko 1050, as Pioneer now owns both companies. Anyone have any knowledge in this regard? The OP |
Hi Boofer - Pioneer has never said word one about the PLX 1000's ancestry. As opposed to Denon, for example, who said that its DJ V12 was designed new from the ground up. As I mentioned earlier (2nd post), most of these turntables come out of the Hanpin factory. http://www.hanpin.com.tw/4_Products_02.html If you visit Hanpin's site, you will notice that the Stanton ST 150 and the Reloop 7000 and the Audio Technica 1240 and the Numark turntables not only bear a resemblance to each other, but also bear a resemblance to Hanpin's product line. Depending on how much you wish to research Super OEMs by digging through the web, You Tube, and various discussion boards, it certainly sounds that if many of these turntables are not rebadged copies of Hanpin designs, then the companies are contracting the specs out to Hanpin to make a turntable by taking a part from X and a part from Y and a part from Z ... well, you get the idea. It is almost like the Family Guy episode when Quagmire sees all these kids from different cultures that all bear a resemblance to him and say giggity. As to the definitive answer to your question ... who knows? Pioneer sure as heck isn't saying. For years, I was flamed on this site for owning a Stanton 150 and claiming it was a decent alternative to the Pro-ject and Rega starter turntables ... all from people who never owned or auditioned a Stanton. There is plenty of information on the web. Time to do some research and come to your own conclusions. No one responding will have the definitive answer for you. Rich |
