Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
hi Raul: "The 71/81 came with coreless motor, you have a misunderstanding. The 71 has not bi-directional servo."Perhaps you are right and my 'audio education' has been adversely affected by those from whom I choose to learn and listen to. But don'...

Perhaps this is what Halcro is referring to: https://patents.google.com/patent/US4888564A/en?q=phase&q=lock+loop&oq=phase+lock+loop. From a brief glance, it looks like what is described in the tt101's service manual. Perhaps it is related ...

SO WHAT CAN I DO? Is that require some sort fo special knowlegde or experience to fix it locally with some tech?IMO, you probably don't require a man of knowledge. What you require is someone with soldering skills and keen eyes (aided by a magnify...

 try this Lew: flip the table upside down and hold it. You'll feel the motor drop down; flip it right side up. Let it settle and then run it to see if the noise persists. That has worked for me before.That screw we are referring to is actually a h... 
Review: Quad 57
Or, the audio friend may buy himself (again) the rm10 along with these speakers and hear for himself what all the fuss is about. Nice review, Ct0517. Always learning from you.

Lewm,I've messed with that screw more than I'd care to admit. It has the effect of adjusting platter height. Too low and the platter will rub against the escutcheon and make noise. Even with the platter off, if that screw is not within some accept...

a cursory search on completed yahoo jp auctions shows that the last two yamaha 2000x went for US $5k each. That's more than most auctions for sp 10 mk3's. So, Henry is correct....something's afoot, we know not what.

Lewm: The mat to get for the tt 101 is the victor pigskin shown here: http://www.topclassaudio.com/web/eng/used_product_details.jsp?gid=7901I own that combo but don't really care for the glass. Just put the skin suede side up and as far as mats go...

Good for you Lewm. I hope it was all worth the trouble. You own some other very nice DD tables and I for one look forward to reading how the tt 101 compares.

chakster:I use acupwr for my japanesse vintage gear: http://acupwr.com/pages/voltage-transformers-convertersMade in the usa, but likely just as good as Lewm's chinese step downs. :). It doesn't vibrate and doesn't heat up and neither does the gear...
