Yamaha YP-D8 and YP-D10


Both late 70s tables from Yamaha. Really high quality platter, plinth and tone arm. I have had the D10 for a few years and currently have a Nagaoka MP 200 cart. It’s a fabulous set up that just sounds beautiful. Today I came across a steal of a deal on the D8. I did a little light cleanup including buffing the acrylic cover and installed an AT440MLa cart. Again, just wow!  Both have been well loved their entire lives as they look practically new. both have same tone arm, same rosewood veneer look and very similar platters. The tone arms have an easily adjustable VTA on the fly. The D10 which I’ve had for years I think wins the sexy look by a hair as its platter is a little more elaborate. Problem is I don’t need both and can’t decide which one I’ll keep. Anyone else have either one of these vintage beauties and an opinion?
