Mint condition hardly used less than 6 months old. Comes with project cartridge
This £3,200 asking price is ambitious, sitting clearly above the £2,828 75th percentile of the typical used market for this turntable.
The Luxman PD-151 Mark II is a genuine standout, revered for its superior belt-drive design and exquisite sonics that rival modern units costing far more. Its low market saturation ensures excellent resale value, and the included LTA-309 tonearm and dust cover make it a complete, high-performance system. While the price is above median, the pristine condition and rarity of this Japanese-built unit offer meaningful upside for a buyer seeking a timeless, audiophile-grade turntable that delivers fullness and clarity without compromise.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Luxman traces its origins to 1925 in Osaka, Japan, when brothers T. Hayakawa and K. Yoshikawa launched a radio equipment division within their Kinsuido picture frame import business, coinciding with Japan's inaugural radio broadcast. Initially importing components, the company soon pivoted to in-house manufacturing of transformers and switches, birthing the Luxman brand and establishing it as one of Japan's oldest electronic component makers. This heritage of precision engineering has endured through ownership shifts, including stints with Alpine and Samsung, before returning to Japanese hands in the early 2000s under dedicated Luxman Corporation.
The brand specializes in luxury high-end audio components, with a storied emphasis on amplifiers—both integrated and power models—preamplifiers, and receivers renowned for their warm, detailed sound. Luxman also produces turntables, CD players, tape decks, and speakers, alongside modern digital offerings like DACs, all handcrafted in Japan with custom parts and dual-mono designs for ultimate fidelity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Luxman commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its timeless aesthetics, uncompromising build quality, and sonic refinement that bridges vintage warmth with cutting-edge performance. Classics like the 1970s CL-32 preamp and 1980s L-507 integrated amplifier fuel its collector appeal, while contemporary lines reaffirm its status as a boutique benchmark for those seeking "Ultimate Fidelity since 1925."
