Japanese are usually very serious about what they are doing, both in business, technology & arts. They also are very polite and very honest in business IME. They have passion for perfection, for example HQ audio gear and records (both analog and digital). I have tens of used Japan pressings vinyl albums and they all are practically like new, nearly all ordered from Japan. Never had any kind of issues with Japanese sellers, they also ship very quick.
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.
