MOTIVATED SELLER! This is a very rare and visually striking piece of functional art that will be at home in any high end audio component system. MAKE OFFER or BUY IT NOW…. many folks wait, when there is no need to, and lose out on a deal that doesn't come along very often. Thanks for looking! And thanks for listening!
A special combination of art and functionality in a superior machine that commands that your attention… as it did mine! Even in the storage shed, it was dusty and in need of attention, it was obviously something special… I wasn't let down… it's a true work of art!
Restored and serviced completely inside and out with new belt, classic high end AT cart and stylus… a great sleeper turntable that is finding a following of devoted audiophiles who desire this kind of striking looks with classic lines and sound! It also has a Microrace tone arm, linear and trademarked itself, being a massive leap forward, made of low mass carbon graphite for the best tracking and practically invisible from a tracking standpoint.
It has a very attractive appearance with an oversized platter of case aluminum, looking fat and sounding FATTER… this deadens the platter against any outside noises or internal vibrations, being a combination of function and art, combined with the high torque belt drive motor assembly, it starts and comes to speed quickly, making a dead quiet operating transport system with unique appearance.
The plinth and base are also high density, with a very sensitive, super deadening suspension system that insulates against outside vibrations, footsteps and other issues that would afflict a standard turntable. It's unique in every way! for a production model turntable, I would say it's EASILY in my top ten best values for audiophile quality and classic artful good looks.
All of the parts are present and functioning as they should… the suspension is feather light-touch sensitive, so when you even breathe on the thing it aborbs the shock and any vibration… it's pretty darn impressive! the lucite cover is also very nice, even with some scuff and scratches, it's still a handsome cover for this classic work of audio art!
I am really tempted to keep this! These don't come around often, so get your best offer out there.
I'm a motivated seller and will guaranteed for 30 days against any defect. Thanks for looking AND for listening!
here's a review of one of these from a devoted fan that may know a little more than I do!
This Harman Kardon turntable,was one of the important turntables to come out in the early 80s. HK set out to build an affordable high end turntable that most audiophiles could afford. And to that end they accomplished their mission quite nicely. Belt drive turntable with a 3 point floating suspension,in a high mass chassis. Above average tonearm. Often referred to as the working mans Linn Sondek turntable. HK researched all the basic fundamentals,and produced an exemplary turntable that is ageless. Lets face it, basic engineering remains true.The HK T series are heavy at 18 pounds or more each and need a solid resting place. Grado cartridges work well with the tone arm. The platter is heavy at 3.3 pounds and has a high density mat, also the inside of the turntable platter is damped as well,to further reduce any ringing. Basically a manual turntable with auto lift at end of play,or you can defeat the auto lift by a switch. Has variable capicitance loading. But if you use a grado cartridge it is not needed. Grados are not sensitive to capictance loading. As well has gold plated RCA jacks on the back of the unit, so you can use different interconnects cables of your choice. With the renewed interest in vinyl,this is one turntable to go after and acquire it just that good.From time to time they pop up on Auction sites and Classified sites. Usually sell for $250.00 to $325.00. They retailed for $449.95,when new. To sell for those prices in the used market,is sheer testament of their value some 20 years after they were new.I can speak with some authority on this product. I have owned one since new,and has never failed to deliver the music,crisp,clear,detailed,and with a transparency rivaled only by the finest high end tables.
I'm actually jealous of whoever gets this one! LOL
