I purchased my Pioneer PL-990 turntable on line from Vanns. As was promised, my turntable arrived exactly on the date in question. Upon arrival I set up my turntable as per the enclosed instructions. It was at this time I noticed my turntable did not come with a platter pulley. After one phone call directly to Pioneer, my pulley arrived several days later. After installing my pulley I was amazed with the over all sound and the tonal quality. It was definitely worth the investment. I am very satisfied with the product and Vanns in general.

This is a very well made turntable with user friendly features. It plays my older records beautifully and was easy to adapt to an old reciever and new speakers. Im very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to break out old records or start buying new ones! A great peice of equipment for a very reasonable price!

I received my Turntable from Vanns promptly and in good condition. The turntable works well and I was able to play my LPs and capture the music to my PC using Nero 10 and then burning them to CDs.
The CDs sound great. We can now play them in our car or home CD players.

This is a great turntable for the price. Does everything
it advertised to do. Good sound and volume
considering the age of my records. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play their
old favorite vinyls.
Be sure to follow hook-up instructions carefully. Do
not hook up to PHONO jacks. Turntable has a
Pre-Amp and must be hooked up to an auxillary
jack.

AFTER 22 YEARS MY PIONEER STERIO SYSTEM WAS NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE. WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF ALBUMS WE STILL LIKE TO PLAY AND IT WAS TIME FOR A NEW TURNTABLE. WHEN I FOUND THE PL-990 I THOUGHT IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD VALUE AND MY PREVIOUS PIONEER AUDIO SYSTEM HAD BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME. I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED WITH MY CHOICE. THE PL-990 IS AN EXCELLENT TURNTABLE FOR THE MONEY AND I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN. I AM SURE I WILL GET MANY YEARS OF USE FROM THIS TURNTABLE. IF YOU STILL LIKE ALBUMS AND DONT WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR A QUALITY TURNTABLE THIS IS IT!

So, my husband and I were getting prepared for a garage sale over the summer, and I made the comment that he should sort through his two huge bins of LPs and sell them. The look on his face was as if I had asked him to sacrifice his childhood pet!! I made the excellent point that he didnt even have a working turn table to play them on, and as he wistfully looked through his stack of Divo, Iggy Pop and MJ, he said to me.... Someday.
WELL, someday came this Christmas, and I found Vanns! Great price, great shipping, and I thought I would take a chance. Im so glad I did! My husband was so delighted to open his PL990, especially sinc the rest of his stereo equipment is Pioneer as well.
It was a little bit of a bummer when we opened the Pioneer box, and Pioneer had packaged and sealed a turntable with a cracked lid. It wasnt Vanns fault, but they really worked with me to get the return sorted out, and the new one in the mail pronto. Great service! Well be back again, for sure!

A freind of mine who is a true hard core audiophile tried to talk me out of purchasing a cheap turntable. He said that I would be sacraficing music, reproducing ability. Well, after playing a few vinyl albulms, some of which are well used, I was satisfied with the quality of sound that this inexspensive turntable can produce. I beleive running it off of a 1970s 9800 Pioneer Amplifier helps the reproducability. Quality is way above the price...

This is without question or doubt the worst turntable I ever bought. It rumbles loudly, plays poorly, and dwas difficult to set up.
This product is the last one I will by from Vanns abd ut us nist emphatically the last time I will believe anything I am told about a good product.
Frankly I cannot believe how bad this piece of junk is nor can I believe that Vanns would actually sell it to someone who was trying to rebuild hisher system.
I also find i hard to believe I was sucker enough to buy one. Had I not just recently had brain surgery, I think I would have better sense.
The question now is what do I do with this piece of junk? I think giving it away would be difficult.

Arrived on schedule from UPS in original factory box in excellent condition. Only took minutes to set up, and has very good sound to me. My, records do sound good after 20 years in storage, but my records are in fine condition after all that time. the price of this machine is a bargain. You can only use the cartidge that comes with it, but you can order one when needed from Pioneer, I understand. Its attractive and easy to understand and to play. I am enjoying it! Thank you, Vanns. I have used this company before and I feel that they are very careful with the orders and get things right.

This was the easiest deal ever. Found the turntable I was looking for, at a great competitive price even on-sale. Submitted my order, the first by-the-way at Vann's, and my turntable arrived just as specified by Vann's on time in the original factory packaging as advertised. I'm sure I'll be back next time I need merchandise that Vann's has in-stock.
Thanks for such a great e-shopping experience.
