TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?
TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?
I don't mean to start a good, better, best, 'here we go again' tech talk about 9/12, that has been covered, and I have been researching.I am just wondering: Who tried and ended up preferring a 12" arm?
Aside from all other upgrades you probably did at the same time, which could have improved a 9" arm, what about the 12" arm made you stick with it?
I suppose, 'I tried 12" and went back to 9"' would be good to know also
thanks, Elliott

The TT-81 is a 101 sans Double Bi-Directional Servo and with a simplified pitch control system/display ; the functions and features are nevertheless the same : +/- servo, ±6Hz of 440Hz without switching off quartz-lock switch, soft-touch transport keys and electronic braking with reverse-current circuit.Not quite correct as it is the TT-71 that has the soft touch transport keys, the TT-81 has a more "normal" button for the transport keys. |
@elliottbnewcombjr They TVK are wrong/misleading regarding the TT-71 it is not Bi-directional nor coreless. A lot of what has been said is true the TT-81 is a very good TT. There in my mind still exists some questions as to its design similarity to the TT-101 although many statements have been made. I'll leave it at that since I can't definitely prove it. |
totem395, you are correct, this is the proper link for TT81 and TT71, http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-TT-81.html the TT101 page http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-TT-101.html there are specific differences between 101, 81, and 71, which, after it gets going, or method of braking, really doesn't effect playing. the oil/spring/damping solutions seem to vary a spec also. .......................... as for the pre-packaged units, I gather: QL-10 and QL-F6 both had the TT101 motor, the QL-7 had the TT71 motor. Some mention of QL-F6 also having .... deck construction of those ...... QL-F6 http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-QL-F6.html i'm glad lewm and others led me to finding more about these. |

you have a lot of beautiful toys, congrats, and thanks for the help. If the arm is a disaster, and I like the TT81 (and two arm wide deck/dust cover), perhaps two new arms. 60 day return, so cost of postage back is the extent of risk at the moment. |
