Audionerd Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Item Condition: Beautiful clean condition apart from some scratching to the lid. Operationally perfect. Shipping Options: Pickup available and you can audition. Suburb or Town: Ivanhoe East State: VIC Payment Method: Cash, Bank Transfer or Paypal Reason for selling: FAR too many turntables Further information: A superb example of this rare model, with classic looks but serviced and upgraded to current audiophile standards by turntable maestro Rick Powell. Adjusted for optimum performance with correct VTA, azimuth, overhang, offset angle, tracking force and bias correction under test conditions. Refurbishment of all electrical contacts and cabling, horizontal and vertical relocation of the arm via the locking collar and realigning the bearing has resulted in the best performing example of this combination you will find. It will certainly surpass more expensive units that are not fully optimised. In particular, the amount of resolved detail from this excellent MC cartridge is exceptional. Considering the current RRP of the cartridge and the market value of the turntable and tonearm separately, this combination not only works well together but is a steal at the price!

Zsolt the Hun Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I'd be interested in the cart if someone wants the turntable without it. Just a plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audionerd Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Hi Zsolt the Hun Thanks for the offer, but it would be sacrilege to split the combination, particularly after so much care has been taken to fine tune it. Rick's setups are far more precise than streetfront dealers or typical audiophiles can achieve without outside help, from my experience.

Hi Audionerd, I completely understand you, this is just a plan B if someone is keen to take the turntable, but not the cartridge.

Audionerd Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 No worries Zsolt. Personally I can't understand why this combo hasn't sold yet. In terms of value, it has the brand pedigree of Luxman and a classic arm, with a superior and much more expensive cartridge than any I've seen on other examples of this model, which typically are advertised at a higher price than this. On top of that, it's been serviced and set up by Melbourne's, if not Australia's, leading turntable technician! Am I doing something wrong? A member once suggested that my photos could be improved. I haven't gone to more trouble than using my old iPhone, and don't plan to develop photographic skills. I figure anyone serious can easily see what things look like from much better photos on the net than I'll ever be able to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audionerd Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm only talking about values. Luxman have always been marketed as a premium brand, with their turntables selling for more than older Regas. The rarity factor as well as different styling should also add value, even if manufactured for them by Rega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Audionerd, certainly a stunning example,but, regardless of brand and pedigree, the value of the item is only worth what someone is willing to pay, many items have been kept by people who are not prepared to sell for less than their perceived value, if they want to move it on the price needs to be reevaluated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
