In Reply to: Sony PS-X5 vs PS-X65. What would you do? posted by MannyE on December 4, 2016 at 17:32:13:
Read the link below and click on the Sony PS-X50/70 and PS-X60/40 and PS-X55*/65(essentially the same pairs of models- with variations that are pretty minor tweaks). No shame in the even later PS-X600/700/800 series boitracers either- you see lots for sale.* The 55 is a non servo, low mass arm variant with similar motor to the siblings. I have the humble PS-X55 in my big rig right now and love the little darlin'. You won't go wrong with any of these series. I chose to avoid the servo-tracer arms because I wanted a very low mass arm for my ADC XLMii. Excellent sound warms the Bearcave and enchants the Bearette!
A sweet spot vintage Sony may be the earlier PS-X6, if you can tolerate the more massive (non servo) arm. That series, the X7 was TOTL, the X5 bottom. I don't like the cosmetics is all, I guess.
Listen carefully before plunking down the cash- scraping noises from the arm motor operation is bad juju. I had one of these where there was a creepy low-pitched, very low level, thumping electromagnetic noise coming from somewhere getting into the cart.
I'd love an X50 /60 /65 --when I go back to my MC carts I will find one. The sweet spot there is probably the X-50 in terms of cost/performance. There's one for sale on Craigsfencelist for $350 now in LA. Worth something like that if its' virginally clean and trouble-free. Just one Bear's opinion.
