AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Quite rare on the market, this PS-LX55 features a linear tracking arm, which compared to a pivoted arm has a very small tracking error (which means greatly reduced harmonic distortion) and almost no pressure on the inside wall of the groove (which means improved tracking ability and channel separation). The turntable size (355X355 mm) allows a very easy placement with minimum space.

The arm transport button allows you to move the arm easily over the desired point of the record with the dust cover closed. The turntable detects disc size automatically, using optical sensors

Start/Stop of the record play and tonearm Up/Down can also be controlled using the buttons on the front panel.

The movement of the turntable and the tonearm of the PS-LX55 is controlled by a microcomputer and is activated by the feather touch buttons on the front panel. The turntable is equiped with an original Sony XL 250g cartridge (T4P mount)

The turntable has been recently serviced and the very small belt that controls the arm movement has been replaced. The turntable will be securely packed and shipped through a reliable international carrier
