| Azimuth setting using channel decibel level on a mono LP? To set the azimuth so the stylus sits perfectly "square" to the groove walls is only one "right" way to set azimuth, and it assumes that the transducing end of the cartridge (which we will call the "coils) are also perfectly oriented with respect ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Cliff, The subject of the thread is vintage Japanese DD turntables, in case it is not obvious. So the Well Tempered Classic doesn't qualify. You ought to try out one of the turntables we are talking about. You'll like it. | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? It's one curious case where the tonearm alone (from a P3) costs much more than the same tonearm, if you purchase it along with a turntable, like the PL70LII. In my opinion, the PL70LII with that tonearm is a screaming bargain at $1600 (price on Y... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Raul, The PL70LII is pretty well known to be a stealth bargain, if you "study" pioneer turntables. It only lacks some of the fringe features, including the massive suspended plinth, of the Exclusive P3. You're correct about the tonearm, too. Some... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Raul, with respect, I have to disagree on the gt750. It’s not in the same league with TT81 by most accounts. And you said it yourself: the manufacturer published specs are not meaningful for comparing two products from different companies. Also th... | |

If the bi-directional servo patents momentarily stumped JP, don't feel bad.Best-groove, I know the DA307 has its defenders, and I can tell you that the rubber gasket separating the front end of the arm wand from the pivot point is still intact on ... | |
| Vinyl and Lyngdorf TDAI-3400? I'll bite. What is a Lyngdorf TDAI-3400, and why is it different? | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? A comment on the "bi-directional servo": The TT101 (and the TT81, if Halcro says so) certainly have exceptional speed control, but when JP Jones eventually fixed my TT101 and got it working, his comments on the "bi-directional"-ness of the servo ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Thanks, Halcro, for chiming in with your opinion on the TT81 vs TT101. I really like my TT101, but I have no way to know how the two compare.Uber, After deciding at one point to sell the DP80, because I wasn't using it (and because who needs 5 tur... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? best-groove, So mainly you object to the cost of the PBN version of the DP80 and to the probability that when you go to sell it, you won't make a profit or get your original investment back, which is also true of almost any new audio product. Tha... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? best-groove, Don't you think the "engine and electronics" ARE the DNA of any turntable, including the DP80? IMO, the major deficiency of the original product was exactly its plinth (and tonearm, but that's a different argument). By re-doing the ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Uber, Difference between TT71 and TT81 is probably an audible shade. Difference between TT81 and TT101 is probably a more audible shade. You might ask Halcro, who has had a TT81 side by side in his home system with a TT101. But I doubt there is... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? I don’t know where Raul got the information that the "specs" for the DP60L are better than those for the DP80. Perhaps he is even correct, but the DP80 was regarded by Denon as the top of their commercial line, bested only by the DP100 and DP308, ... | |

| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Best-groove, "MN6042" is the part number of the vital chip used in the Mk2, the MK3, and one or more of the SL series. I do not know whether it is used in the old SL1200. SL1500 comes to mind, but I have not looked it up. In any case, before Fi... |
