Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable

Thuchan, no need to make apologies for your choice of music. I like Paul
Simon, and I agree that the sound quality of his recordings is generally very
good. I apologize if I came across as critical of the music; it was simply a
bad attempt at humor. Great table! I have been intrigued by it since the old
TAS days when (I believe it was) REG would always speak highly of the
benefits of LP centering. Regards.

Frogman, you're right on the quality recordings of Paul Simon. Many other performers don't care about sound like e.g. the Boss, maybe they more often listen to loud music on stage than we...
all the best

The first off all Nakamichi TX-1000 is the awesome hightech apparatus for collectors.

$3k is funny.  I seen in is going in the $7-9k range lately, with a NOS unit just went on eBay for $20k. 

Agreed. $3K is a joke.
There are serious collectors out there and as long as everything is in working order.....it can go for serious money even if outperformed by some other uber Japanese classic DD decks.
