Luxman PD121A - PD441


Hello all

New to the forum so a big thank you in advance and greetings!

I am looking to get my first luxman record player. 
I have been lurking around the internet and initially came upon the Thorens and then the Linn LP12. 

Then by chance came across the Luxman. And now I am hooked on its looks!

After some reading i got it down to the PD121A or the PD441

The 121A comes with an SME 3009 and the PD441 has nothing but I was thinking a Micro seiki 505X. Opinions on the 505X?

Also i read somewhere that the 121A is just a smaller version of the 441. Is this in any way true and to what extent?  What is missing from one to the other???

Look forward to reading some replies and getting into the thick of it all!

Chris

Sometimes posts you expect to be deleted, don't get deleted.  And sometimes vice-versa. Depends upon the beer supply I expect.

What Dover said, but I do think there is a single tonearm variant of the PD441; I don't know the alphanumeric designation for it, but it might be a bit cheaper if you can find one.  In fact, if you can find either the PD441 or the single tonearm version, verify its condition (because these TTs are now about 40 years old), then if condition is known to be excellent, jump on it.

More to discover
