Back in the 80's, my former PD-441 was a tremendous table for me. Painful memories of selling it to catch the new wave, i.e., CDs. Recently redeemed myself by acquiring a mint PD-444, and if I ever figure out a place to set it up, well, let's just say my expectations are quite high! IMHO, you can't go wrong with a PD-441 or a PD-444.
