Holy crap this is a nice piece of gear. The guy selling the Pioneer PL-570 was selling a complete system from the late 1970s that was pretty much top of the line. I had never even heard of this. Even after having plunked down the dough on the tt I just couldn't pass this up. It is in such spectacular condition I really wish I had the dough to snag the matching Spec 4 amp!! :( It seems to be 100% perfectly functioning, has about 3 scratches and some minor gunk, and has displaced the preamp I've been using for about 6 years now. After having it for a few days there is a certain familiarity - and I suspect one of my childhood friend's fathers had one! If he didn't, he had something that was very similar.

Clean vinyl is happy vinyl. Diy cleaner, diy chemicals.

This is heck of an amp!!! It's got a LOT of balls, well over 100 watts as compared to other things I've compared it to. Comprehensive excellent quality overbuilt PHONO STAGE, great attenuator, toroidal transformers, etc etc.
