Brand: Pioneer

The Pioneer PL-15 is an iconic turntable model that was introduced in the late 1970s. It is part of Pioneer's historic PL-series, which stretched from the early 1960s to the mid 1980s. The PL-15 was a significant improvement over its predecessors, such as the PL-7, improving on various aspects of design and performance.The PL-15 featured a high-torque DC motor that could produce consistent rotational speeds, eliminating speed wobble and assured accuracy. The plinth was made of heavy MDF and panel-mounted using rubber sheets isolating it from unwanted vibrations, creating a quieter listening experience. The platter was made of dense acrylic, which reduced resonance and provided a stable base for the cartridge.The PL-15 also had a unique tonearm design, which combined high rigidity and low friction where the horizontal arm and vertical bearings used high precision bearings with exotic materials, such as micro-crystalline Polyoxymethylene (POM) for the top of the arm rest, which helped to dampen and isolate resonance.The PL-15′s stylish design, ample features, and high-level performance were a testament to the quality and innovation that Pioneer brought to the audio industry during this time, earning it a revered reputation as a favorite among vinyl enthusiasts.Overall, the Pioneer PL-15 deck remained one of the finest turntables in certain audiophile circles long after it originally ceased production (during the mid 1980s), with many coveting to restore used examples to provide satisfaction for generations to come.
