Best value in a vintage Luxman TT


I am hoping to find a nice DD Luxman turntable to mate with a Luxman integrated amp. I have done some reading, but interested in which models AG members would recommend to me to look for. I am pretty sure it will be in the PD-2xx series. I am thinking a later model, but also would like one with the Micro Seiki sourced arm.  (Not sure if there are limited models with that arm) Is there a sweet spot in the line where prices are not crazy and reliability is good? Thanks

 

I am definitely becoming a fan of Luxman gear.....

Elliot nailed it. The PD444 is definitely the best of all vintage Luxman TTs. If you only want to mount one tonearm, there is the PD441 with all the other features of the 444.

The PD 444 with Tonearm in the link sold for $870, the Tonearm will have most likely sold on for $300+ if it was not wanted to be put to use.

If that PD444 is in good working condition, it was a steal at that price. Typical asking prices are at least 3X higher and more.
