Pink Triangle LPT

My friend has bought a Pink Triangle LPT turntable, and it also has the GTI PSU inside.

Is the LPT still a good sounding turntable for it's price today?

I'd rather have an LPT than a Linn.

With the GTI PSU, it should be a little belter. Excuse the pun.

I take it your talking about the Linn Axis.

The LPT was a fine little deck and if low bass colouration is of prime importance, I really would say that it's better than an LP12 *of the period!* in bass accuracy. HOWEVER, the sound could be a bit bright and relentless in a system that was set up around the LP12 back then and the pink lid was glued together as I recall.

If this LPT is still working and the belt hasn't fatigued with the passing decades, I'd put it up there with the better Regas I think.

Did the Pink LPT also come with the ''pig'' clamp?

Only the Revolver. The Pinks never really needed clamps as I remember.

Brilliant turntable IMHO, i had the same with that supply fitted, the multicoloured speed indicator through the acrylic knob was a well sexy touch. I prefered the grey top to the black acrylic tho..

What arm did you use with it? And how did it sound when you had it?

Does arms like the RB250 work very well with the Pink LPT?

I took the Rega off & fitted an original Mission '774'.. how did you do that you may ask..
