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
Thank you @dover
After spending a good few hours back and fourth with a seller apparently the 505MKII or MKIII will not fit on the TP-MT as its 30 mm (1.18 inches). I wouldn't know as I dont have the arm to hand hahahah So i have to look at the ones on the manual. Unless i get another sized board. The 505 being one of them.
Looking at the Micro 505, saec, WE 308SX , FR, Stax, Ortofon, grace. Currently reading up on the saec.
Opinions? Very much appreciated.

The 444 is to be found as well but will be quite a few $'s extra. https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/item/search/Luxman+441/Al_11_Yh_RaRmMr_N_N_0A00ja000_N/ https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/p1189770314/ |
The micro 505 requires a hole of 28mm or larger. According to the Luxman arm base brochure the TP-MT is the correct arm base.
