Pioneer PL-550 on it's way!..

I just won a PL-550 TT, it works but needs cosmetic stuff.

Any info on this TT?

Thanks,
JOhn.

that datasheet tells it all.

Looks familiar, I'll bet it would sound pretty good with a Denon DL-160 cartridge.

Just a wild guess, right?:scratch2:

Hmmm.... If it's a good player you just might have a candidate for real walnut veneer there.

I'd go with real wood veneer. Not expensive to do either. Under $30.

I did my Pioneer PL-530 in Oak recently and like the results.

Dam that looks good. One of these days I'm gonna try and do one of my SL MKII tables like that. If I can figure away to cut the veneer perfect to fit the area the platter and transformer sit.

One way to do it is to apply a continuous sheet of veneer over the entire surface and then trim it away from the edges of any holes.

UPDATED: Any (good) between the dollar value from $300-$1000 and up to clarify my statement,TT would sound good with a Denon DL-160!

Thanks,:thmbsp:

This one is for a PL-570 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280367747595

I would like to see if there is one for our model, the PL-550.

BIG boxes arrived yesterday, I have not opened them yet, Looks to be packed right.

UPDATE: Arrived AOK!!! Packed well! Have not plugged it in yet, will this weekend, came with a GOOD cartridge! Medium type, nothing fancy no name brand, but good stylus.

Thanks,
JOhn.

Any TT would sound good with a Denon DL-160!

Oh theres a few I can think of that no cartridge would sound good on let alone a DL160
