Thanks for the kind words. During this ordeal the enjoyment I got from my system was very important. Especially after my 2 operations that lasted seven hours. Couldn’t move around much and playing music had a very calming and uplifting feeling. My new TT not only sounds fantastic but reminds me of climbing that mountain. By the wayI’m in my 60’s and back to working 50+ hours a week. I still got a lot left in me. Stay positive and keep on fighting. As the old 60's phrase goes "Keep on Truck'n".
My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable.
On Feb. 8 I got the good news from my Oncologist after 2 operations and a year of infusions I was cancer free. For a long time my dealer has had the Luxman TT on display. With this behind me on Sunday Feb 10 (my birthday) I went down to the store and put in an order. Delivery was a surprise on Tuesday it arrived. I sold my Linn and had the cart a Dynavector 20xl2 transferred on to the Luxman. The build quality is impeccable. Love the strobe window for speed accuracy and the detachable headshell on the Jelco arm. Music has plenty of detail and excellent dynamics. Had to readjust my sub as I'm getting better response on the bottom end. I have a lot of older used albums in my collection and this TT is very quiet and really improves the sound of the older LP's. The rest of the setup is the Luxman CL38U-SE tube preamp. I'm using the preamps internal 3 tube phono. Bryston 2.5 SST-2 amp and a pair of Aerial 5T's. Plus a small Paradigm sub to fill in the bottom. Down the road when I have to replace the Dyanavector I was thinking of the EAT Jos No5 or the Dynavector XX-2. Any other thoughts. By the way this is officially my last TT.
