![]() The PL-71's ability to create an involving musical insight is 2nd to none. It simply surpasses many of the UK cottage industry & other country very hi-end decks and is preferred by several very knowledgeable and musically savvy audiophiles who are vocal about this decks capability on several major hifi fora. This turntable is right up there with the greats when it comes to music reproduction. So how does she sound? Well this is quite a revelation. ![]() If you get a 120V version you can either get a voltage adapter (100w Maplin one for £14.99) or simply move one of the wires to the mains transformer and the job is done (you do have to remove the base cover and be able to solder / know what you are doing to try this). The tonearm is of particularly high quality with carefully chosen bearings and nice features to cater for cartridges of weights from 4 to 32g. Simple non quartz locked Direct Drive that should last for years and years to come. You get a very well made deck with nice walnut wood finish. So what do you get for around £150 or $230 then (rough 2009 2nd hand price). Known to be og good quality back in 1975 - 1980 when it was first introduced but perhaps rather overlooked as in the UK we were all Linn LP-12 mad and if a deck was not belt drive in the Linn vein it was not to be considered.
