Hey there, this is a sweet deal here, a vintage Technics SL-D1 Direct Drive Turntable, along with the highly sought after Shure M97Xe phono cartridge.
The SL-D1 is nice and well built, a very excellent performing basic servo DD from Technics. Has pitch control, is manual. Very excellent tonearm for the price, as reliable as DD gets, the tonearm works well with a wide variety of MM, MI, and even MC options.
The Shure M97Xe phono cartridge has been consistently referred to as "the audiophile's cartridge," and for good reason-- the Shure M97xE has been graced with The Absolute Sound Editors Choice Award for Cartridges below $500 in 2007, 2008 and 2009. (The Absolute Sound Issue 175). Designed for music listeners seeking a sensibly affordable and exceptional all-around performer, the Shure M97xE cartridge offers a generally neutral tonal balance, excellent tracking and an overall presentation that is effortlessly smooth and musical.
The SL-D1 is in good overall condition, it powers on and spins as it should, however aesthetically it's definitely seen better days. The top left hinge is broken so the dust cover isn't securely held to it, and the rubber on the sides of the platter flakes when rubbed. A bit of TLC could go a long way!
