Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

@rauliruegas 
I see you have miss quoted me also, I did not say how in "hell"
anywhere in my post but still find your your sweeping 
assumptions of others opinions off putting.

But carry on as usual. 

@jpjones   I see many thanks ;)

Btw, who told you that the TT-101 is so " superlative " as you think because that's a total misunderstodd by your self or the one that told you?

Uhh....let's see....
Apart from me and Lewm, there's Audpulse, HiHo, Aigenga, Thuchan and someone called Harry Weisfeld who wrote in 2014

I have a Kenwood LO-7D, a JVC TT101 (best of all of them), MS DDX-1000, an SP-10 Mk-2, etc. All are wonderful.....

The TT-101 inspired Harry to design the VPI-Direct which, together with the $105,000 Techdas AF 1, are still the only A+ turntables on the Stereophile 'Recommended Components' List.

@best-groove you even do not own those Technics.

And Raul does not own a TT-101.
Nor has he even heard one.
A few years ago he bought a Victor TT-71 and because he has a 'need' to have the 'best'.....he declared the TT-71 better than the TT-81 and TT-101.
He has never even heard the Denon 100M which he continually praises based on its specifications.
Ask Thuchan how the Denon 100M (in his bedroom system) compares to the TT-101 in his main system.....😎

lol.....it is not necessary to make a religious war ....every enthusiast pushes his idols and his ideas forward  I suppose

There is nothing offensive in doing that.....
But Raul is almost alone, in consistently denigrating other equipment and other contributors’ systems.
Whether it’s cartridges, tonearms, turntables, phono stages, amplifiers or speakers......he has expended almost as much energy in these Forums, on his subjective negativity and personal vitriol, as on his (often) valuable positive insights.

And that IS offensive to many of us.......🤔
