The Pioneer PL-55D is a turntable model that was released by Pioneer Corporation in the mid-1970s. It is part of Pioneer's 'Direct Drive' turntable line, which was a significant development in turntable technology due to its improved tracking and reduced decode errors compared to earlier belt-drive models. The PL-55D features a direct-drive motor, which is synchronized with a precision quartz crystal to maintain accurate speed control. It has an aluminum die-cast platter, a suspended two-speed (33 1/3 and 45 RPM) tonearm with hydraulically damped lift mechanism and adjustable tracking force, and a built-in phono amplifier. Overall, the Pioneer PL-55D was a top-of-the-line turntable for its time, known for its exceptional audio quality and reliable performance. It is still considered a highly sought-after vintage model by audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts today.
