New PL-A45D question

dontmindme

Creature
Just picked up a Pioneer PL-A45D turntable from the original owner. It seems to be in very good cosmetic condition. No scratches or damage to the vinyl, very light scratches on the dust cover that I already to care of with Novus.... It's got an Empire 2000 E/III cartridge that looks to be in good shape also. I haven't used it yet because it needed a belt that I'm waiting for.

My questions is, I have a PL-41 that I just put a Denon DL-110 on. How would that DL-110 sound on the PL-A45D? It looks to be the same tone arm and the headshell would fit.

I just restored the PL-41 and think it's a great turntable. The only reason I picked up the PL-A45D was to get an automatic table. Sometimes running back to the PL-41 gets old.... My KR-9600 has 2 phono inputs so I'm planning on running both.:banana:

And no, that's not where it'll stay! I'll not have it on top of the KR-9600 when I get the belt on and running. I set it there until I can find a spot for it, gonna mean some rearranging!
 
Since most Pioneer TT from that era are quite similar, try it.
Also if you like the result with this cart on your PL-41, you have a good chance of having similar results.
