Description: Description New LUXMAN PD-151 MARK II Record Player w/transformer Ships from Japan New Tonearm with Knife-Edge Bearings The **PD-151 MARK II** features the new Luxman original static balance tonearm **LTA-309**, which employs the knife-edge technology from SAEC, a Japanese brand with over 40 years of tonearm development experience. The knife-edge bearings provide high initial sensitivity and stable tracking performance. The tonearm base, made from machined aluminum, minimizes contact area with the fixing screws, ensuring rigidity while suppressing unnecessary vibrations. In addition to basic adjustments like tracking force and anti-skating, it also supports fine settings such as height adjustment to match the mounted cartridge, enhancing playback quality. The S-shaped pipe's tip uses a universal joint type, allowing easy mounting and replacement of various cartridges, including the Luxman LMC-5.*Note: SAEC is a brand of Saec Commerce, Inc.* High-Precision, High-Torque Brushless DC Motor The **PD-151 MARK II** is a belt-drive analog player designed to rotate a heavy platter powerfully, accurately, and stably. The drive motor, a core component, is crucial. The PD-151 MARK II features an original high-precision, high-torque brushless DC motor developed over two years during the PD-151's development. Based on a highly reliable low-speed motor, it includes a sine wave PWM, PID rotation speed control program, low-noise acoustic bearings, optimized coil winding, and other improvements. Additionally, it supports three speeds: the standard 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, and 78 RPM for vintage SP records.*Note: PID control involves Proportional (quick control to target speed), Integral (absorbing minor errors), and Differential (control for rapid changes). The PD-151 MARK II integrates these controls for consistently precise and stable rotation.* Heavyweight Platter and High-Rigidity Spindle The turntable of the **PD-151 MARK II** features a 4.0 kg heavyweight platter machined with high precision from a thick aluminum block, boasting a beautiful diamond-cut finish. Its large moment of inertia (0.219 t·cm²) ensures smooth and stable rotation. The high-rigidity spindle section uses a 16mm diameter high-hardness stainless steel spindle shaft with a ball bearing at its lower end. The thrust bearing, made of heat-resistant and wear-resistant PEEK material, combines with a brass radial bearing filled with organic molybdenum oil for excellent lubrication under high loads, supporting the platter's weight and efficiently transmitting energy from the high-torque brushless DC motor. A turntable sheet made of vibration-absorbing rubber is also included as standard.*Note: PEEK stands for polyether ether ketone, a type of super engineering plastic.* Aesthetic Design Focused on Functional Beauty The **PD-151 MARK II** continues the highly acclaimed design and operation layout of its predecessor, the PD-151. The top panel, precision hairline-finished from 10mm thick aluminum, focuses on the three main components of the analog player: the tonearm, drive motor, and turntable, achieving simplicity and functional beauty. All controls, including the power switch, motor (rotation) ON/OFF switch, rotation speed switch, and indicators, are consolidated on the front panel. This ensures intuitive operation and visibility while the silver aluminum top panel and matte black painted chassis create a striking contrast, exuding a sense of solidity. Additionally, an optional 4mm thick acrylic dust cover with cam support hinges for smooth opening and closing is available. Triple-Speed Selection and Independent Adjustment The **PD-151 MARK II** supports three rotation speeds: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. Each speed can be finely and accurately adjusted using independent volume controls, with the help of a rotation speed deviation indicator (LED).*Note: The rotation speed deviation indicator lights green when normal, flashes green when slow, and flashes blue when fast.* New Tonearm with Knife-Edge Bearings The **PD-151 MARK II** features the new Luxman original static balance tonearm **LTA-309**, which employs the knife-edge technology from SAEC, a Japanese brand with over 40 years of tonearm development experience.

The **PD-151 MARK II** uses special vibration-damping rubber to float the drive motor and power transformer, maintaining high-quality signal transmission. Unique Underslung Structure The **PD-151 MARK II** features a unique underslung method, where heavy internal components are mounted on the underside of the 10mm thick aluminum top panel, achieving a balance of rigidity and vibration damping. The frame structure, with the lower box chassis and top panel, controls minute vibrations. Height-Adjustable Damping Insulators For an analog player tracing the fine grooves of a record, the insulator legs supporting the entire unit are crucial. The **PD-151 MARK II** features original insulators with damping rubber, adjustable up to 5mm in height, preventing howling and external vibration transmission. Head Shell and Phono Cable An original lightweight aluminum head shell with the Luxman logo and an aluminum EP adapter are included as standard. For cartridge output, a high-quality phono cable with audio-grade OFC wire and a DIN-type to RCA plug is provided, allowing future upgrade through recabling. AC Inlet and Power Cable The AC inlet is redesigned, reversing the mounting direction from previous models to support the cable's weight with the entire terminal structure, ensuring stable connector retention. The power cable included is the new reference JPA-10000i, a non-twisted slim type with a thick conductor diameter, offering both flexibility and improved handling.
