Dear @jessica-severin : That QL-A95 makes that the 101 looks as a really mediocre TT ( as a fact it's but this for other time dialogue/discussion. . ). I have too the information of many others JVC/Victor TTs and from other manufacturers through my japanese bibles ( hard paper. ) but I never gone to those fully integrated TTs pages and is surprising what we can found down there like this Pionner that came with the same tonearm that comes in the $$$$ Exclusive P-3 ! ! : https://audio-heritage.jp/PIONEER-EXCLUSIVE/player/pl-70lii.html Thank you for your real contribution for all of us. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
Uber - I used
Plast-I-Clay Modeling Clay. I bought 8 lbs. from allartsupplies.com for a little over 20 bucks. I didn't use it all and gave what was leftover to my grandaughter, so it was a nice "two-fer"! The QL-Y66F stock feet are small and springy. I have springy floors and it was a bad combination. The MNPCTECH feet are big and heavy and seem to be well damped. I did both mods simultaneously, so I can't say which one had more impact, but before the mods I could not turn up the volume very loud at all without getting feedback from airborne vibrations. Now I can play as loud as I want with no negative effect. I also had to tiptoe across the floor, and since the mods, I don't think I've ever made the tonearm jump from footfalls. |
Dear Raul, thank you. I love digging around audio-heritage.jp I'm not sure how many of these higher end 1980s Japanese TT made it out of Japan, but they were popular here and they made many variations of models. There are 3 Pioneer PL-70LII on yahoo auction japan right now but they are all expensive in the 160.000yen ($1600) range. Like other countries the audiophiles always seem to fight over the rare top-end models while the step down models (which are often almost as good) go for much much less. Jessica |
