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!

Dover is essentially saying don't give up, and I agree with him. You have a very nice TT there. Funnily, if it is a 120V unit and you are using a 120V to 100V stepdown, that may negatively affect performance. Line frequency 50 vs 60Hz does not matter because the built in power supply is going to convert incoming AC, whether 50 or 60, to DC to run the motor. |
its a 100 model and i had a step down / up conveter. I have purchased a few laserdisc players from japan so have them lying around the house haha
But the thing is really wacked out and I dont have the time or the will to have someone play with my money when i could use it elsewhere.
Shame though as its a beautiful machine |
Doors Open / Close as in all ventures. The Link might just put a spark in the air. The Plinth will sell for the nearly the same monies seen for the Overall TT assembly seen at the present. If the price holds, the Purchase Won, The Plinth Sold, start your new venture into Japanese Vintage DD TT's with a Baked Bean Tin Pier Plinth and a Monopod Tonearm Mount. You won't be the first and certainly not the last. https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/h1196020454/ |
