What was that?
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.

It was the biggest and heaviest box I have ever shipped to America. The boiler box! Packed on September 5th, 2020. One of my Victor TT-101 turntable drives inside this box has arrived safely after a long transatlantic journey, it was serviced at Fidelis Analog. Now fully restored and calibrated it goes to a new owner, he will recognize a huge Peterbilt Truck with my boiler box, haha @knollbrent |
