this TT... OPINIONS?
Ordinarily, I'd not consider a direct drive TT, but here's one for
which I'd make an exception. But unless I'm overlooking something, this one seems WAY overpriced, even w/ Black Widow arm, no? Anyone here more familiar w/ these items, and have a better sense of what I should expect to pay? http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....abl&1143662633 |

There are a host of other alternatives in that price range that I would consider a better choice. But then, that is my *opinion*. |

A_C I did. Knowing from experience that broad philosophical questions get zillions of responses, but specific ones like mine get very few, I posted to several newsgroups. Predictably, I received 2 very helpful answers, but also a handful of opinions which, despite being well-founded, had nothing to do with my question. |

As stated in my question, I was just curious about that particular combo and what it should really cost. Had there been anything remotely equivalent available, I'd have compared. Nonetheless, your opinion is appreciated, and I'll probably take your advice and stick w/ a better belt-driven product for a less $$$. |

Here are a couple that are VASTLY superior to the Luxman and $100 less. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....abl&1142973314 http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....abl&1142631882 So is this one and it is less than 1/2 the price of the luxman http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....abl&1143136026 |

Thanks, Tony... I've seriously considered the HW19, and there's a good
chance I'll end up w/ it or something similar.
