About the PD291
The Luxman PD-291, also marketed as PX-100, is a fully automatic direct-drive turntable produced in Japan during the 1980s. It features a quartz-lock system for precise speed control, achieving a wow and flutter of 0.03% WRMS and a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 70 dB. The turntable has a 300mm platter and supports 33.33 and 45 rpm speeds. It includes a straight, static balance tonearm with an effective length of 214mm and 15mm overhang. The PD-291 was praised for having the lowest rumble measured by Australian HiFi Magazine at the time and is noted for its smooth, quiet automatic functions and tasteful vintage design. It typically weighs 8 kg and measures 440 x 148 x 360 mm. Some units come equipped with an Audio Technica MM cartridge. The turntable is highly regarded for its build quality and playback performance, making it a desirable vintage HiFi component.
