| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Raul, I more or less agree with your sentiments, but the OP specifically asked about vintage Japanese DDs. Thus he’s receiving opinions about vintage Japanese DDs. As to the SP10 mk3 vs the SP10R, JP Jones owns both and conducted a meticulous comp... | |
| Dusting gear and turntable drmuso, Do you then need a cover for the custom cloth cover for the acrylic dust cover of the SOTA? (Sorry, could not resist.) | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please JVC (Victor) QL7 incorporates their TT71 motor/chassis, which is their third from the top of the Victor commercial line, which was the TT101. Yes, I think it does use a coreless motor, which I like too, but the DP80 was Denon's top of the line com... | |
| Dusting gear and turntable Oh boy! Another thread on dust covers seems to be emerging. I can't wait. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I agree that the DK300 plinth is holding back the DP80 a bit. I use a custom made slate plinth. But the nicest plinth on the professional level is the PBN Audio version. It ain’t cheap however. What one could do with the DK300 is to brace it along... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Come on over, Tomic. I am running a pair of Beveridge 2SWs in my second system. Same size as the model 2 and still direct driven by the built in amplifiers but designed for higher SPLs than the 2, so they go down only to 80Hz and require woofer ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I would seek a seller who is willing to provide a history of service and to guarantee that the DP80 is in perfect working condition. Second, bear in mind that most likely any DP80 you find will have been built for 100V AC supply. That is zero pro... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Alex, the Pioneer Exclusive P3 is my great white whale. I’ve always wanted one. We visit Tokyo annually because our son lives there. I’ve never seen one in the flesh and for sale even in Tokyo. Even on Hifido. If you have an idea where I can find ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Cost is one reason why I recommended a Denon DP75 or 80 instead of an SP10 Mk2 or other, and in this case I would additionally recommend to this OP that he purchase from a reliable source who is willing to guarantee operating condition and shows a... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Lenco made belt drives at one point in its existence, just to say the Bogen may be a re-badged Lenco belt drive, or not. (I just cannot recall for sure.) Mea culpa. See here. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please The TTs on your list above are all belt driven types. In my opinion if you want to get closest to the idler drive sonics of the Garrard 301, direct drive is your best bet. Another option is Lenco, which I happen to believe can be made to sound as ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Chakster had a wealth of opinions that would not let facts stand in their way. But I miss him too and hope he’s ok. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I currently own and use four different Japanese DD turntables (Kenwood L07D, Technics SP10 Mk3, Victor TT101, and Denon DP80), and in the past i owned a few others (especially Technics SP10 Mk2 and Mk2A). Since cost is an object, I would recommen... | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III Is the alphanumeric code, 192-VN35E, correct for what you ordered? If so, ND may just stand for nude, and they may figure the code is sufficient as a specific further identifier. | |
| Installed A Kiseki Black Heart Today. Lovely Cartridge I'll wait for you to listen to the Kiseki a bit longer and then hope you have another listen to the MC2000, for a formal ABA type comparison. Incidentally, I had my Koetsu Urushi re-tipped (just a new stylus on the original cantilever) by Expert ... |
