I hear less noise - especially less 60 cycle hum.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear from you, Aigenga. Thanks.
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.

A good point Totem.... Rubber platter pad |
Hi Henry aka Halcro I now see you put the leather mat directly to the platter, not on top of the rubber mat like the Jico play pictures😀 I am a little worried as I dont use a record weight with my P3 or P10 as it sounds better without. The same platter or is sunken a bit with the lip around it. The thin Millennium mat did not get over the height of the platter lip so the lp was sort if touching it. I have tested the P3 rubber mat ( it is very thick) and it has sounded better than the thinner Technics mat, Boston 1, Millennium, SAEC steel mat and Living Voice mat. So the leather will be interesting |
