A Benjamin Miracord 50H brought me back to vinyl after a 35 year affair with the CD player. So to say it holds a special place in my heart and mind is an understatement. It allowed me to hear and feel the emotion in my music that was all to lacking with CD's.
Idler drive turntables
One sees all sorts of data re Garrard 301/401, Thorens TD 124, and Lenco turntables of the 60's and 70's. These TT's if restored bring lots of $ on the used market! What about the Benjamin Miracords of the same era? My first "serious" hifi system in 1970 consisted of a Miracord 50H with a Shure M91E cartridge, a Fisher 600 receiver and KLH 4 speakers. Sometimes, even now, and thousands of dollars more, I yearn for the sound of that system! Just how does the Miracord stand up to those icons??
