I tried very hard to get exactly that Luxman PD-191 turntable to go with an ARO rewired by Linn (not Naim) in a little system based round my newly-acquired Nait 50.
I gave up eventually, as I couldn’t find a tonearm fixing for the ARO. I found a Linn fixing, and a solid aluminium piece which would have meant drilling to take the ARO.
I gave up at that point and spoke to the ever-helpful Peter Swain of Cymbiosis, so I now have my second LP12, expertly set up by them, with a rebuilt Troika from Goldring.
Not mine, of course, as you can see there are 5 turntables. I distinguish the top Vpi, not the recent one , EMT ( 927?), Techdas Air Force ( One ?), Continuum Caliburn.
Top Kondo tubes amps, JBL ( ?) loudspeakers.
I wouldn’t mind listening to that Studder from the comfort of that Eames but it’s far too cluttered and a visual mess.
I really can’t imagine anyone enjoying music in such an environment. It would put me right off.
The room is not a living room, but a dedicated listening room. Personally it wouldn’t bother me, specially as there are so many wonderful components, specially the Continuum and Tech Das turntables, and the Kondo top monoblocks.
But for every day listening, I prefer a cosy living room, with windows, plants….
