Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry

What does Trump have to do with this? Is he responsible for Pioneer defrauding Technics? That would be news to me...

If anyone’s interested in the SL-1200, just buy the SL-1200. Not only is it still in current production, but there are hundreds of thousands of them available for sale on the used market at any given day.

Purchasing the PLX-1000 either shows complete ignorance (Raul’s favorite word) on even the most basic level, or intentional support for piracy. Neither is a good thing.

I also own Pioneer PLX-1000. Is it better than my SP10mk3 or Exclusive P3. No.

But, in its own right, its a bloody good sounding turntable for folks who do not want cheap Rega’s, VPI’s, Project and alike. It will wipe the floor with these tables.

Its also available new for less than a used SL1200 and arguably provides a better balanced sound.

@roberjerman - seriously? 
what a stupid comment about our Prez,

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
