Dear
@lewm : You are totally wrong: the tonearm in the GT750 is the same along the GT 2000 and certainly there is no plastic down there:
http://www.thevintageknob.org/yamaha-GT-2000.html and here:
https://www.vinylengine.com/library/yamaha/gt-750.shtml
The GT 2000 is superior to the 101. Of course that because you are a 101 owner you can't admit Yamaha is superior. It does not matters what you think YAMAHA is superior and bestgrooves is wrong too when he said the tonearms are not the same because owners of the 750 can attest it's. Could be that the finish can be better on the top models but only the finish of the tonearm not its design and used parts on that tonearm design.
I owned two JVC tonearms one stand alone and one coming from a JVC TT and I can attest both are exactly the same.
Btw, yes specs can't tell us all about a product but here the differences are really high and speaks of the quality level of the building design. You have the 101, put your money where your mouth is and buy the GT 750 for by first hand experiences can attest or not what you are posting.
Sorry but your opinions are way wrong on that regards.
Yamaha not only made it high quality TTs but tonearms and very well regarded cartridges, speakers and electronics.
Audiophiles like you almost never talk about Yamaha but this company is second to none and extremely competitive at the very top level. Please don't make mistakes with.
In the other side I don't care about uber choice because that's his choice for good or bad, he is who will live with his choice not you or me or any one else.
As always only my opinion and nothing more than that.
R.
Btw, about the PUA-7 in other thread was proved that the stand alone is the same that the one in the TT and where in " hell " exist eveidence from Sony where they attested both tonearms are not the same but different. Bestgroove where is your Sony direct evidence. ? ? ?
