Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

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CD is obsolete as well as vinyl - at least vinyl sounds great.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.

I could only find the engine of a TT-81 but I do not want to throw money to the wind if I do not have the real certainty that it is compatible!
