Not much talk about Yamaha turntables.
I've been wanting to jump into the analog world for years, but for a lack of experience and/or knowledge about the equipment, I haven't. There's plenty of talk here about the big names in analog and I was surprised the other day browsing around somewhere that Yamaha has turntables. Are these any good? What do they compare to in terms of other more well-known analog names? I'm not asking about their $8,000 models. I will never be able to afford that. I'm asking more about their sub $1k models.
Thanks!
Thanks!

@shtinkydog. The Nagaoka MP110 is a great cartridge, but if you can get the 150 or 200. |
Vac, If you are asking where I saw a nice used Yamaha GT 2000L most recently , it was at Audio Union in Ochanomizu. I buy LPs across the street at Disc Union. Our son lives in Tokyo as a permanent resident, and we visit him at least once a year. But sadly we canceled our trip in April, because of the coronavirus. For new stuff, I have been buying mostly at Yodibashi Camera in Akihabara, just because they have such a huge selection. |
Speaking of GT-2000L, I've read somewhere that the Yamaha GT series of DD turntables were built by Micro Seiki. Can anyone confirm this is a true story? That would suggest they were also responsible for the GT-2000X, which is generally considered one of the Japanese top turntables, on a par with Sony PS-X9, Technics SP-10mk3, Pioneer Exclusive P3, Kenwood L-07D and perhaps even Denon DP-100. This begs the question why Micro never built DD turntables at this quality level under their own name. Apparently they were capable of doing such. The Micro DD series had a good reputation, but they were decidedly mid level. Anybody know why? |
