Thanks Andy, that gives me some ball park numbers to work off. I wish I could remember what I paid for it new but all I know is it was quite a chunk with the AU 320 step up and DL 103 all installed at the shop and I want to say somewhere between 1975-1980. It replaced a BIC 980 table I was never happy with. I picked up the Technics SL1200 MKll back when they were all the rage for DJs because some of my older vinyl was somewhat abused and I never wanted to spin them on the Luxman for fear of hurting the much more expensive DL 103. |
I have no doubt you guys are all giving me good advice and the Luxman is the one to keep. I'm just thinking it would be better served in the hands and ears of those who could appreciate the differences. All of my albums are from the music of my days 60s & 70s and we still love it but the quality from the source vinyl after 40-50 years does not lend itself to the quality you are after with all the HQ stuff available today. The one part I can't fix is my old ears so please try to understand the time has come to let some things go to those who still can hear and enjoy. I see cartridges going in the tens of thousands and it would not make a nickles worth of difference to me and my ability to hear. My advice to all of you Audiophiles would be use it before you lose it and there will come a time when you also need eye glasses to read the labels. I went from Helicopter jet engines over my head during Vietnam right into law enforcement and being the weapons range instructor for the next 30 years with high power gun blasts every day. My most used word from the English language these days is "What" and I know it seems harder for you to understand than it is for me. |
