About the PD-171AL
The Luxman PD-171AL is an armless variant of the PD-171 series, introduced around 2017. It employs a belt-drive system with a high-torque AC synchronous motor, delivering exceptional speed stability (<0.04% WRMS wow and flutter). The 30cm machined cast aluminum platter weighs 5kg, ensuring low vibration and optimal energy transmission via a wide drive belt. Key features include independent speed adjustment (±5%) for 33⅓ and 45 rpm, LED stroboscope prism for precise tuning, detachable high-intensity LED stylus light, and a 4mm thick infinitely adjustable acrylic dust cover. The design emphasizes musical depth and vinyl character, with a robust hardwood base and silver/wood aesthetic. It supports interchangeable tonearm bases for SME, SAEC, FR, or Ortofon arms (sold separately). Power consumption is 38W, suitable for high-fidelity analog setups seeking quiet, accurate rotation.
