PIONEER PL-L7/PL-90 (1984) | Elite HiFi Reference

The PL-L7 is made for the purist. There are some good reasons why the PL-L7 makes this possible. One is a tonearm made from alumina ceramics, another is the Pioneer DRA (Dynamic Resonance Absorber), a combination of a viscous damper and weight, to eliminate resonance. To ensure that records are played with extremely low noise and wow and flutter, a coreless direct-drive DC-servo motor controlled by a precise quartz-PLL servo system to provide cog-free and ripple-free smooth torque generation is installed. With the cabinet and cabinet base separated internally by insulators and the entire unit suported by large insulators on the base itself, the player has an effective Double-Floating configuration. The PL-L7 was first introduced in 1984 in Japan while the North-American market model was the PL-90. This one had "shiny looks", marketed as "Reference Turntable" and it was presented in the Pioneer Elite series brochure.
