It's going to be hooked up to my Luxman CL38U-SE and a pair of Aerial 5T's. For me this was a special purchase.

All the best with your new TT setup, which should prove to be an excellent match with your system. More importantly a huge congrats on your successful battle and being declared cancer free. Hope that you're able to enjoy your newly improved system for many years in the best of health!

Thanks for your comments. Over the past few years music has been a real antidote for getting through the tough times. Many times it gave me the emotional lift to keep on going.

Congrats on your new purchase but more importantly congrats on beating the C. Very happy for you. Check out the Analogue Reproductions pressing by QRP.

Congrats on the new TT, and, more important, the surgery. Just went thru surgery for same and now a year of follow-up testing to see how well things went. Had not thought about it, but maybe that's why I sold the VPI and went with a Denon DP-80 last month. Best of luck to us both.

Keep a positive outlook. Today's Cancer recovery is way better than it was in the past.

Picked up my Luxman PDA-171A today and all I can say is WoW!!! The folks at Audio Video Therapy did a fantastic job of setting it up. I had to adjust my sub as the bass out of this TT is much stronger and tighter. Love the strobe that allows you to fine tune the speed. Easy to change the cart w/the detachable head. The 15lb platter has two handles you screw in to make it easier to drop in the platter. I'm off tomorrow so tonight will be a long evening of music. Have it hooked up to my Luxman CL38U-SE. Currently using a Dynavector 20xl2L that I used on my Linn. Any suggestions for a future cart in the 1500 to 2K that you can suggest??

Nice. Couldn't agree more about the universal headshell. One of the two reasons I've moved from VPI (the other being my preference for DD). Certainly enjoy my Kleos, so the $2K model (Delos?) would seem to be a good choice. Be nice if you could post a pic of your rig.

I decided to add my third Luxman piece to my rig.

I see you have a dampening plate on your integrated. What was the noticeable improvement and any issues with heat and discoloration? I know my 590 can run pretty warm.
