Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?


I have just acquired a 32 year old JVC/Victor TT-101 DD turntable after having its lesser brother, the TT-81 for the last year.
TT-101
This is one of the great DD designs made at a time when the giant Japanese electronics companies like Technics, Denon, JVC/Victor and Pioneer could pour millions of dollars into 'flagship' models to 'enhance' their lower range models which often sold in the millions.
Because of their complexity however.......if they malfunction.....parts are 'unobtanium'....and they often cannot be repaired.

The SP-10MK3 is a great unit but the new Technics design comes with fundamental/vital characteristics/changes over the MK3 where the MK3 can't compete no matter what...No, I don't have yet the opportunity to listen it but I don't need to listen to know its superiority and you neither."
This is the single most extreme example of so-called "conformation bias' that I have ever seen in this distinguished forum it is interesting how some of the contributors to this forum who most claim to be objective and scientific type who embrace data and verifiable results can make such a holy pronouncement about the inherent audible superiority of one device over another without ever having even heard the specific device that they say they prefer! It is this same faith-based belief in measurements in the absence of any hands on experience that results in these same self appointed gurus proclaiming for example that cables make no difference and that every well designed amplifier within certain limits sound the same! Of course they sound the same and is no difference if you never listen and even if they do as is made clear here their mind is made up they care convinced! Confirmation bias!
