Raul,
Can you tell why did you sell your Dynavector Karat Nova D13? Just curious.

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.

Shane, I was wondering about those buttons, if one were to remove the wood casing. You could probably make some sort of rigid platform to re-mount them in place of the wood. To say that the P3 suspension, which looks like that of a modern sports car in terms of complexity, is not like an LP12 suspension, is pretty much like saying that a modern sports car suspension is more sophisticated than that of a Model T Ford. It's no contest. |
yes Lew - the p3 suspension is a little more complex than the Lp12 and works very well. there is a DP100 for sale as we speak. only 24K :-) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Denon-DP-100M-Direct-Drive-Turntable-with-DK-1000-Plinth-/252852302833?... |
Thuchan has the Denon DP100M https://audiocirc.com/2015/04/15/denon-100m/ but is in the process of selling it....🤔 He's not a huge DD fan and may even sell his Victor TT-101...😱 |
