Built around a \u003cstrong\u003e4.0kg machined-aluminum platter, proprietary brushless DC motor with PID speed control, and Luxman's LTA-309 knife-edge tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e, the PD-151 MARK II is designed for listeners who want serious vinyl playback without stepping all the way up to the PD-191A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not simply a turntable with a tonearm added to it. Luxman engineered the platter, motor, bearing system, chassis, isolation, tonearm, and speed-control system to work together as a complete analog playback platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith support for \u003cstrong\u003e33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e, extensive cartridge adjustment, and a universal removable headshell, the PD-151 MARK II is equally at home playing a new audiophile pressing, a favorite vintage LP, or a collection of 78s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLuxman LTA-309 Knife-Edge Tonearm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major upgrade for the MARK II is the \u003cstrong\u003eLuxman LTA-309 tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LTA-309 is a static-balanced, S-shaped tonearm incorporating \u003cstrong\u003eknife-edge bearing technology developed by Japanese tonearm specialist SAEC\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bearing system is designed for extremely high sensitivity, allowing the arm to respond freely to the minute movements of the cartridge as the stylus follows the record groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machined-aluminum arm base minimizes unnecessary contact area while maintaining rigidity and helping suppress unwanted vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuxman also provides the adjustments needed to properly dial in a high-performance cartridge, including \u003cstrong\u003etracking force, anti-skating, and 15mm of tonearm height adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H4 bayonet-style removable headshell makes cartridge changes straightforward and gives owners considerably more flexibility to experiment with different moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Torque Brushless DC Motor With PID Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed stability is fundamental to convincing vinyl playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PD-151 MARK II uses Luxman's proprietary \u003cstrong\u003ebrushless DC motor\u003c\/strong\u003e together with a sine-wave\/Pulse Width Modulation power supply engineered to provide stable DC power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuxman's \u003cstrong\u003ePID feedback control system\u003c\/strong\u003e continually monitors platter speed and corrects deviations. The system is designed to reach the target speed quickly, correct small errors, and respond to rapid fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than driving a small inner section of the platter, the motor turns the platter's \u003cstrong\u003eouter flange using a wide belt\u003c\/strong\u003e, helping take advantage of the platter's rotational mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe objective is simple: keep rotational speed as stable as possible so pitch, timing, and musical information aren't compromised by fluctuations in platter speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4.0kg Machined-Aluminum Platter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PD-151 MARK II uses a substantial \u003cstrong\u003e4.0kg—or approximately 8.8-pound—aluminum platter\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecision machined from a thick aluminum billet and finished with diamond cutting, the platter provides a moment of inertia of \u003cstrong\u003e0.219 t·cm²\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its substantial mass acts as a flywheel to promote smooth and stable rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter rides on a highly rigid \u003cstrong\u003e16mm-diameter stainless-steel spindle\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuxman combines a PEEK thrust bearing with a brass radial bearing lubricated with organic molybdenum oil.
