Trio LO-7D

Yeah, he would have been hoping for more, scruffy one with no psu is taking a risk as I've never seen the psu for sale on its own.

Collection only wont help either.

I was going to buy on Chili's one but figured I'm as well sticking to my SP10 Mk II.

He was after 5.6k total. Bummer that it/both went for what they did - I was really tempted but who knows what the other party would have gone up to...?

Or just wait for one where it's complete

Thereone at Audioantiquary in italy but he wwnts around 7k euro I think - then add import! Though vat should be deducted from that if it's exported..

I seriously looked at the L0-7D when I bought my current Sony, however nice it was, the Sony was a step above, so was my Transrotor. They are nice, but not £5K nice, seeing as you can get a SP10 Mk2 for a lot less and it's at least as good as the L0-7D.

I consider the Sony PS-X9, Pioneer P3a, Nakamichi TX-1000 and Denon DP-100 as better tbh.

The seller got his fingers burnt.

Go and have a look at his other items now.. all the other parts for it are listed...!

I do tend to agree, if he listed it for a high price, someone would have folded.

It’s single ‘ding’ was in the most obvious place. I think this made quite a difference to the final price. Unless it was a bit of cornflake on my screen of course…

 

[robbyd]

I did wonder why the other parts weren't listed at the time the auction was running.

He got over £3k for arm & t/t: probably a fair reflection on UK pricing.

The DS-20 and TS-10 should do well. I'd certainly be bidding if I didn't already own them.

I've heard an SP10 Mk 2 against my L-07D (but different arm, though same Micro Seiki lineage): no contest, the L-07D was far more engaging. Now an SP10 Mk3 might be an interesting comparison...

The other turntables mentioned - all classics - may well be better, but they also fetch far more money on the 2nd hand market. The one I covet is the Pioneer P3a. I admire the Nakamichi but the electronics do contain certain unobtanium parts.
