  1. Further Information: Last and ultimate Luxman-by-Micro turntable, planned before but produced at the very moment the Alpine sale was happening. Design-wise inherited from Micro are the mix of metals (aluminium + brass), the peripheral belt-drive, the (improved) VDS system, the one-piece chassis-feet-armbase and the heavyweight platter. The platter weighs 9,5kg and is made of aluminium (top+sides) and brass (base) ; inertia moment amounts to 1200kg /cm2. The motor is is a DC brush/slot-less FG Servo controlled ; I don't know if it was sourced from Pioneer like that of the PD-300 or from Matsushita like that of the PD555 or the SX-111FV or the PL-901... The chassis is made of six c. 1cm thick steel plates bonded together ; two-tier separate armbases were offered in either diecast aluminium or brass, the latter being better and weighing 1,2kg. The VS-300 VDS pump clearly was an improvement over the self-pumping system of the PD-300 bestseller which had a tendency to gradually loose pressure after the beginning of a record's B side : a servo was here included to monitor and keep even the air in/out flows. The VS-300 also feeds the PD-350 its 20V DC running power ; the VS-300's T-tag is YAGI, based in Osaka, like Luxman until november 1983. Given the scarcity of the info available counterbalanced with my knowledge of the brand, I suppose that he main production run of about 300 was carried in august 1983 with another 50 made in September for a total production of 350 (which would be very Lux Luxman EU imported only one (in 220V). Inherited from Luxman was the magnificent design still bearing notes of the 1982 X-1D CD prototype ; gone, however, was the X-5P prototype... and the 350 : if the smaller PD-310 sold somewhat ok, the PD-350 didn't. Pity : it is the best Luxman/Micro turntable made. The unit is in perfect working condition, however the Benz Micro LPS cartridge is not included in the sale. Please let me know if you need more photos.

  6. Further information: Near once in a lifetime opportunity. Very rare! Sansui TU-X1 AM/FM Tuner with Super Upgrade If you have even one good quality FM station like I have, a great tuner is a must have. I listen to my tuners more than any other source. Absolute best sound there is. I’ve owned all the great tuners and there is no way to beat this, especially if you have a good rooftop or attic antennae. The sound quality is simply incredible, especially for live classical or jazz performances over FM. Additionally, the TU-X1 might have the best AM tuner ever built. This is a rare 220V model that is very hard to find in Australia. Some information links are below but these are not pictures or the known specific details for my TU-X1: http://www.niji.or.jp/home/k-nisi/tu-x1.htm http://amp8.com/radio/tr-tuner/sansui/tu-x1.htm https://audio-database.com/SANSUI/tuner/tu-x1-e.html https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/sansui/tu-x1.shtml https://www.fmtunerinfo.com/sansui.html#sansui-tux1 Very heavy unit hence shipping cost will be high.
