It looks like it has a built in phono amp as the little button next to the RCA outs says mm/mc.I think it's only a gain-stage for the MC to boost the low output — there's no RIAA eq. So it can go into your phono preamp.
Does this mean it cannot be used through a phono amp as there does not appear to be a bypass to this , just choice of mm or mc.
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.

Pablo, I don't know where you "heard" that calibration of a QL-10 would necessarily cost $1000. I believe that some time ago on this thread, JP Jones remarked that he could not hope to repair a malfunctioning unit for less than $1000. That's a far cry from saying that it takes a kilobuck just to do calibration. If the unit is functioning properly, a knowledgeable person, e.g., JP, could probably do the calibration for much less cost. When the TT-101 is "broken", it is a real can of worms, which made JP's off the cuff estimate of $1000 seem fairly reasonable. JP can comment if I am way off base, or not. |
Lewm. Yes the 701 has the EDS-1000 brushless coreless motor. The hall-effect electronic drive motor operates independently of AC line frequency and voltage fluctuations, so the 701 platter speed never fluctuates. An entirely different kind of motor, designed expressly for the 701, and a very innovative approach to the problem of resonance. Instead of the familiar, high speed AC motor, the 701 has an all electronic, low speed motor, with feedback-controlled speed precision. Because this motor rotates at the record speed, 33 1/3 or 45rpm, the need for speed reduction systems such as friction idler or rim belt is eliminated. Instead, the platter is rotated directly by the motor, and the record spindle is the top of the motor shaft. The 701 motor is so quiet and free from vibration that it does not require any isolation mounting, but is mounted directly to the chassis.
