Hi Lee
Aside from the glowing review in Stereophile from Art Dudley, I believe that David Cope (former Audio Show demonstrator) is the proud owner of a fairly new PTP 12. He has heard a lot of gear over the years at all,of the various audio shows and really likes the PTP.
Pretty good endorsement I would say!
Hi Don
Since my last post on here I went and brought a Lenco GL 75 in very good condition just to get myself familiarised with the sound of a idler driven Lenco, so far in its original format I quite like what I’m hearing and it’s only playing with a Shure MM cart so when I get it fully tricked out I think it will be a keeper for sure, they have an addictive sound to say the least especially on original Blue Note Mono jazz and Decca LXT Mono recordings, I’m more than impressed so far

All of that Blue Note jazz stuff is some of my very favourite. I can imagine how enjoyable that would be! I spent some time a fellow audiophile's house who owned the big Tannoy WRSEs and a Garrard 301 with an SPU cartridge, run through vintage Mac gear and it was really, really musically rewarding.
