You have to choose: Dr Feickert Woodpecker or Luxman PD-151


Dear fellow analogue lovers,

I am on the brink of purchasing a new TT, tonearm and cartridge. I mostly play easy listening, no jazz really (I am sorry!) but fair share of easy rock as well. My choice now boiled down to these 2 machines:

Luxman PD-151 with integrated Jelco tonearm

Dr Feickert Woodpecker (probably with a Reed 1H/X tonearm)

Which would you prefer and why? What should be mentioned in the comparison is that the Luxman will probably set me back EUR 4500, the Woodpecker EUR 6500 and I think that is a substantial difference. 

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Best, Erik

also like the color setting of the Feickert (I would go for alu top / amber-bronze sides.
