I just got the PL-71 unpacked a few hours ago, it looks and sounds great. It was shipped with the platter was on the spindle, which worried me until I started it. This unit screams QUALITY, solid and smooth in operation. I just finished listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “One more from the road” , sounded fantastic.
I need to find my old Shure gauge out. Is there anywhere I can get a manual for this unit? Need to make sure the cartridge is set up right. CDs are easy to use but there is something about the old vinyl album. Long live vinyl.
