I've too many turntables as it is, but the TTS3000 belt drive would be a good buy, despite being over forty years old now.

Or cold as the case may be :eyebrows:
HY60 bargain priced brand new, ideal for two way active stereo pair ;) Just add PSU & stir until brought to the boil :lol:
You can't moan at a 30W 8ohm, 60W 4ohm amp assembled & heatsinked for £5.99 each new :ner: 5 available as of now...
That's not me or anyone i know selling them btw. My feedback is private as i only buy :doh:
From Bardwells, used them in the 70's!
Nice amp.

Not cheap, but eye wateringly gorgeous. :)
PT Anniversary & SME V
Be interesting to see what his reserve is.
The PT Anniversary/SMEV really was first rate, the two products dovetailing together beautifully. By this time, the PT's were better made and as long as the bearing hasn't been damaged (jewelled thrust pad), it would make a highly truthful (in the best sense) way of playing records.
Can't help thinking that the motors seemed to walk all over the top plate as production went on, but as I wasn't a dealer for these I'm probably wrong...
Hi Andy,
Lol - I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder... No doubt the PT Anniversary is a superb T/T, sonically, but "eye wateringly gorgeous"? Sorry, not in my eyes!Quote:
For me it looks rather drab and 'sober' looking - not my thing at all.
This, however, IMO, qualifies as eye-wateringly gorgeous:

(Nice touch with the flower :eyebrows:)
Both T/Ts I would happily own.
Anyway, forgive my intrusion.... It's good that we all have different tastes!! :cool:

Have to agree with you Marco regarding the SP10/Schick/Lumière combination.
If I had the money and space, I would have one just for looks alone, regardless of how good the performance! One minor point - I would have the brass parts of the arm painted black and the paintwork of the Lumière cartridge changed to a black hammerfinish.
The Lumière cartidge is a facsimile of the (legendary) Neumann NV55 cartidge. These are, or were, hand made to order only from Japan. I believe they are based on the Ortophon SPU design, but I'm not certain. Last time I enquired, they were asking something like £2,500 to build one. The step-up transformer was even more expensive!
