■ Overview
〇 PD-151 MARK II was released in 2018, and is the latest version of the original specification as the Mark 2 model of the standard model PD-151, which combines the functionality and reliable performance of an integrated analog player in a highly rigid housing. This is a long-awaited new product equipped with a tone arm.
〇 The exterior has a finish that eliminates excessive decoration so that you can simply enjoy the steps necessary to play records, and the parts arrangement on the top panel has been narrowed down to the three main elements of the tone arm, drive motor, and turntable. By doing so, we have achieved an attractive appearance that combines design and function to a high degree.
〇The tone arm is newly equipped with a static balance type that uses the knife edge technology developed by SAEC, which has excellent initial sensitivity. By making the tip of the S-shaped arm a universal type, it is easy to install and replace various cartridges, including the Luxman LMC-5.
〇 The drive motor is equipped with an original low-speed, high-torque brushless DC motor that took two years to complete when developing the PD-151.
His highly accurate PID control allows the rotation speed to be switched in three stages: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm, while quickly and reliably responding to factors that cause rotation fluctuations.
〇 The turntable has a 4kg heavy platter made by cutting extremely thick aluminum and a 16mm diameter high-hardness stainless steel spindle shaft that combines multiple bearings to ensure stable rotation due to high inertia. is produced.
〇 The PD-151 MARK II is based on the reliable performance and functional beauty of its highly acclaimed predecessor model, and is set to become the new standard for full-fledged belt-drive analog players equipped with a high-sensitivity tone arm. will reappear.

■ Features
■ Electric circuit
・Original high-precision brushless DC motor
・ Sine wave PWM/PID control system that resists fluctuations and maintains accurate rotation speed
・3-stage (33 1/3, 45, 78 rotations) rotation speed switching with independent adjustment function for each rotation speed
■ Mechanism
・ Original universal type that uses SAEC's knife edge technology ・ Static balance tone arm LTA-309
・Heavyweight turntable (4.0kg) made from machined aluminum with a moment of inertia of 0.219t-cm2
- Underslung (suspended) vibration damping structure for main parts with main chassis made of 10mm thick machined aluminum plate
- Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) thrust bearing and brass radial bearing with ball bearings support stable rotation.
- Vibration damping rubber that floats the motor and power transformer, which are sources of vibration.
・Large-diameter insulator that enables height adjustment (up to 8 mm) and uses new vibration damping rubber with excellent temperature characteristics.
■ Exterior
・A design that pursues functional beauty by placing only his three major elements: tone arm, drive motor, and turntable on the top panel.
- Gold-plated AC inlet whose mounting height has been changed to support the weight of the cable across the terminal.
・A standard DIN to RCA terminal type OFC phono cable is included for cartridge output.
・ Original with LUXMAN logo ・ Comes with head shell and machined aluminum EP adapter
・ New non-twist structure with thicker conductor than before and a slim type that is easier to handle ・ Comes with power cable JPA-10000i
・ A dust cover is sold separately.
