Lo-D HT550 for sale. Lo-D is Hitachi’s up-market brand and its products are well regarded in Japan.

Technical specs here:
http://knisi2001.web.fc2.com/ht-550.html

Hitachi is very good at building electric motors and has developed a range of Uni-Torque motors for use in turntables. The Uni-Torque motors are brushless, coreless and slot-less, eliminating cogging and vibration issues.

More info about the technology here:
http://www.gammaelectronics.xyz/audio_08-1979_hitachi-ad.html

The HT550 is at the mid-upper end of Lo-D's turntable range. It has Quartz-locked speed control and semi-automatic operation [auto-return of tonearm at end of last track.]

The unit for sale has been recapped; all electrolytic caps have been replaced with better grade parts. New heatsink compound has been applied to the power transistors & heat sink interface. An OEM Audio Technica cartridge (branded DM by Lo-D) with a sharp stylus comes mounted on the original Lo-D head shell. The acrylic cover has been polished.

The turntable keeps stable speed, is silent in operation, and plays beautiful tunes from records. Its cosmetic condition is very good.

The unit runs off AC100V mains; so a step-down transformer is needed to operate it.







Selling at $550/-.

Please SMS 9689-5432 to deal. Audition welcomed. Thanks for reading.
