Yamaha GT 2000 with 40 pound copper platter.

lewm.

Thank You For teaching me

If you believe Vintage Knob, the GT2000 could be purchased with an optional high torque motor, the same motor that was standard on the X version. If I was going to use a 40-lb platter, I’d want that bigger motor.

Everytime I come here lewm you post the same incorrect info. Every time. Please, this time, walk away from the keyboard.

Do a search for’GT 2000 threads, here in A’gon. I have run out of patience. Telling you, over and over and over through the decades that your total knowledge of the GT 2000 tuntable series is incorrect.

Please an A’gon search for GT 2000 threads. There you will see that I have corrected you so many times. Every time you post the same inaccurate content. Read my correcting your ’fiction’. Read my correction. Please don’t post The Vintage Knob garbage one more time...

So you’re saying that vintage knob is wrong, because all I am doing and ever have done is to quote what is available on vintage knob?. I do realize that vintage knob is often incorrect. Which is why I prefaced my remark by stating the case “if you believe vintage knob”. I promise you I will never write another word about the GT 2000 turntable, if you will enlighten me further; is it your position that the GT2000 only came with one standard motor and was never available with the X motor? Or do you claim that the 2000 and the X used the same motor? I’ll take your response as gospel truth; I promise. 

The GT2000/2000L/2000X all used the same motor.

The GT2000X has a larger bearing & spindle - if you look at the GT2000X the truncated pyramid below the spindle is steel. On the GT2000 & 2000L the truncated pyramid below the spindle is brass. Source is actual TT's not vintage knob.

The gunmetal platter YGT-1 was an optional upgrade for any of the GT2000 series.

Check out the start up times - with the YGT-1 on the GT2000X it takes about 4 times longer to get to speed than with the standard platter.

Basically the GT2000X came standard with same motor, bigger plinth, bigger main bearing & improved tonearm.
