Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Welcome to the Thread fast_mick.You're right about the perceived 'value' of certain brands in the Japanese or Asian marketplace and yes......JVC/Victor is not so highly prized there whereas the Yamaha 750GT/1000GT are so numerous I'd swear they we...
