AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sony PS-LX500 - Linear Tracking Fully Automatic (Direct Drive)
Overall condition is good. It has been tested and is fully functional. The dust cover has no cracks but shows signs of use. The needle is in good condition.
Shipping packaging with good protection. Delivery of this item is guaranteed within the European area. Islands are excluded. Delivery to other regions is possible, but shipping costs could be significantly higher.
The PS-LX500's linear-tracking tonearm is designed to reproduce the movement of the cutting head used when mastering the original disc (master).
Unlike a pivoting arm, a linear-tracking arm has a very small tracking error (leading to a significant reduction in harmonic distortion) and exerts virtually no pressure on the inner wall of the groove; this results in better groove tracking and increased channel separation.
The arm movement controls allow easy positioning of the cartridge at the desired location on the disc, even when the dust cover is closed.
Starting and stopping playback, as well as raising or lowering the tonearm, can also be controlled via the buttons on the front panel.
Thanks to the RM-44 remote control (available as an option), these functions — start/stop playback and raise/lower the arm — can be operated remotely.
