    One of the best Direct Drive : Kenwood L-07 D

    I also own an L-07D turntable. It's a magnificent thing and, to me, it's a work of art as much as a work of technical prowess. I'm looking out for couple of things for mine like the TS-10 platter and an original 2nd tonearm board, SME or otherwise. Here's my review of it over on my blog...
