Description from the seller

RARE GURADISCHI VINTAGE PIONEER PL-640 – QUARTZ DIRECT DRIVE EXCELLENCE (1983)

THE PIONEER LEGEND: THE GOLDEN AGE OF JAPANESE HI-FI Founded in 1938, Pioneer is synonymous with global acoustic excellence.

Between the late '70s and the early '80s, Pioneer laboratories in Japan redefined the standard of analog listening.

Buying Pioneer today means owning a piece of hi-fi history. This brand is famous worldwide for its rugged engineering, indestructible electronic circuits, and timeless design. The PL-640 embodies exactly this glorious industrial heritage.

WHY THE PL-640 IS A SUPERIOR MODEL Don't be fooled by base belt-driven models. The Pioneer PL-640 is a true high-end technological jewel, designed for the most demanding audiophiles:

Absolute Stability Quartz PLL: Say goodbye to worn belts or motors that lose spins.

The Quartz-controlled Direct Drive system constantly monitors the platter rotation. It offers millesimal speed precision with a Wow & Flutter value virtually zero (just 0.025%).

Extraordinary Background Silence: Thanks to a signal-to-noise ratio of a solid 78 dB, the Hall Quartz motor completely isolates playback from unwanted mechanical vibrations.

You will hear only the music.

High-Tech Straight Tonearm: Made of advanced mid-to-low mass polymers. It is designed to drastically reduce resonances and allow the cartridge to track perfectly even in the most challenging grooves.

Comfort and Safety Auto-Return: Combines the performance of a competition manual turntable with the safety of a semi-automatic system.

At the end of the record the tonearm returns by itself, saving the stylus from unnecessary wear.

Intelligent Ergonomics: The advanced front controls allow you to start, stop, or lift the tonearm without opening the dust cover, protecting your vinyl from dust during use.

Type: Direct Drive with quartz lock
Motor: Quartz PLL Hall Motor
Speeds: 33 1/3 and 45 rpm
Signal/Noise Ratio: 78 dB (DIN-B)
Wow and Flutter: 0.025% wrms
Platter: Die-cast aluminum 304 mm
Weight: 5.3 kg (heavy anti-vibration stability)
