How does this pioneer plx-1000 compare to the audio-technica at-lp-1240?

I've opened both up. They are essentially the same. People saying the pioneer is better are confusing the AT 1240 with the cheaper 120 or just regurgitating stuff they read someplace.

What headshell can I buy as a replacement?

The bearings are extremely easy to adjust and are designed to be slightly tightened. A miniature screwdriver and a needle nose pliers are all that is needed. loosen the outer ring and then tighten the internal screw 1 or 2 degrees. They should not be tight, just tight enough to not jiggle. I own 8 technic 1200 turntables a few Vestax turntables and a few belt drive audiophile belt drive turntables. All the dj style turntables need to have bearings adjusted periodically. Completly Normal. Standard Headshells are readily available. Audiophile headshells are also made.

Where is this product manufactured?

Manufactured in China. Designed in Japan. Hope it helps

Does this have a built-in preamp?

Most DJ professional turntables will not have a preamp. Those are inside of our DJ mixers. It’s easy enough to get a preamp or a mixer if you plan on ripping sound files.
