Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

@downunder

Does it really matter. All our tables in 20 years will be worthless as nobody will be buying any physical media or players.

Oh, i’m waiting for this to buy all my favorite records from the 60s and 70s for $1-5 like it was in the 90s when majority of people believed in CD format. Only 10-15 years later the price for rare vinyl increased to the stratosphere, some of those records now cost hundreds and thousands dollars even in VG condition. Dealers, who 's bought warehouses full of records at that time, now are millionaires.  

Not likely. Television didn't render radio obsolete. The automobile didn't  eliminate the horse industry. The ballpoint pen hasn't stopped production of fountain pens.

LOL.  what has television got to do with music?  last I looked, not many horses and carriages carting people to work and back.  Fountain pens are some stupid expensive luxury item these days.
  Not many 8 tracks, 78's, minidisc's, DAT or cassettes sold these days.
CD is obsolete as well as vinyl - at least vinyl sounds great.


Who is going to buy vinyl and turntables after you and the rest of us are 6 feet under? 
99.99% of the population will be Streaming.

Dear @downunder : Never mind, those gentlemans always live and will live thinking nopthing change. Audio ignorance only.

Hi,

can anyone tell me if the TT81 engine and support is exactly the same as the TT-101 engine?

Would it be possible to replace one another?

I’m still chewing on the idea that the automobile did not eliminate the horse industry. I say “chewing”, because during my recent visit to Tokyo, I noticed that horse meat was on the menu In at least one restaurant. Let’s be honest, the automobile certainly did displace the horse as a major mode of transportation.

Halcro would be in the best position to answer the question about the TT 81 versus the TT 101. Every time I read about it, the newest info changes whatever was my preconceived notion. I think the motors may be the same per se, but the electronics are different. Or vice versa.

Shane, all I care is about it is even if my LP collection is worth zero, my family will get by financially without me.
