I doubt any of this stuff can be repaired if something goes simply because the parts likely don't exist
wrong thinking, of the Technics 1200 lies almost everything.
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.

Dear friends: If we analizes step by step this thread and all the posted facts coming from each one of us we can think or better yet I think on it as what happens with a horse/gazelle stampedes where each member runs with out no single and true reason and runs because one to " nervous " member started to run to stay aways from " danger " that not really exist where some of those horses’s stapedes ends when the horses falls down a precipice. There are several facts that tell us that exist no reason to the 101 " stampede " where no one of you stampede’s members never asked why you run and followed running till falls down: down there. The " nervous " member that started the stampede not only " figured " that the 101 competes with the SP10MK2/3 or DP-100 or Exclusive P3 or Yamaha GT2000 or other top vintage or today units. Obviously the facts tell and told to all the stampede’s members that the 101 just can’t competes at that level and that’s only one parte of the average mediocrity even its price tell us: when the mid-fi ( not top tiers. ) Denon ( 70/75 ), Technics ( SP15/25. ), Marantz, Pionners, Onkyo and even JVC models were all marketed with way higher prices than the 101 no one of you took in count. Even the JVC 70 that came with plinth and tonearm its price was only 65K yens ( higher than the 101 and like other 10 JV models the 70 came with coreless motor and double directional servos. ) when the P3 was 650K yens and the DP-100 900K yens and the Final or MS 1800K yens ! ! @halcro do you need more evidence on why I write here that this thread is the " century’s stampede " a glorious one where all the stampede’s members unfortunatily are in that deep cliff. No, there are so many reasons why I was not a stampede member. No one of you stopped ( at some time. ) to ask your self: hey what am I doing with? where are those reward? why is worth to do it?

Dear friends: Another problem with that kind of " stamped " is that if one member ask to other: where go we?, the answer is: don't ask and keep running. Stamped leaves us to : nowhere. Terrible. @halcro : """ Unhinged.......? 🙈 """ ‘Alternate facts’......? 👺 those are your normal answers because almost ever/never have facts and share those " facts " ( if any. ) where you founded your " way of thinking ". This thread shows that. No one of your posts tells any one you are rigth to started the " stamped ". Obviously the thread is a learning lessons even for the ones that choosed don't participate in the " stampede " or in that lewm " terrorist " way of think: " change the caps and other parts on those vinatge TTs....... ". @halcro , I hope that you learned too through this thread lessons . I have to say that I learned, thank's for that. Enough, time to buy any of the new Technics TTs. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |

Really? With all due respect to this person, I cannot disagree more with this post. Where to begin....first, people bear in mind, the drive architecture of the SP10R is cloned from the little brother SL-1200 G. The new dc motor adds a second set of stator windings for increased torque and like the 1200G is coreless and brushless. Both torque and power of the MK3 dc motor is measurably greater. The 10R bearing remains tiny compared to the SP10MK3's oversized bearing, its a toothpick. The platter is multi layered, damped and dynamically balanced, like the Mk3, but weighs significantly less. The power supply is switching type, not a proper linear power supply, which the MK3 has. By the way, none of the stated factory specifications published by Technics thus far for the SP10R surpass the Technics Sp10MK3 technical bench specifications, nada = none. By the way, those whom actually own one can confirm the SP10MK3 platter does not have unwanted "ringing" characteristics. In my eyes, this makes it more of a new SP10MK2 v.2 per se, than anything else. I'll be ordering a new Technics SP10R at some point for fun to compare and because I think its a neat refresh of an established benchmark, but need to make some room first! ;) |
