Not much talk about Yamaha turntables.

A nice GT2000X will be about double the cost of a GT2000 or 2000L.  The X version is rare and very desireable, about $4k to $5K, last time I looked.  Has bigger motor and heavier platter and better standard tonearm, compared to the GT2000, plus an outboard PS, but some or all of those upgrades were also optionally available on at least the GT2000L.  It's a bit confusing on Vintage Knob.  I'd rate a fully equipped X version up with an SP10 Mk3 or Pioneer Exclusive P3.

Yamaha had many very good turntable the PF-1000 and 800 are great turntables. Many of the YB-D series are very good like the 71 and 6 And at a much lower price and fully automatic the   Yamaha P-750 and P-751 are good turntables that can be found for like 300 bucks. Obviously the GT series are what audiophiles would recommend but really not worth the money they were mostly only made for Japan so finding one is hard and has driven the price way up. And depending on what your plugging this into you would need a very good phono stage and system to warrant spending money on a GT series and the Cartridge to go with it to make it worth while would also set you back a pretty penny. So go with what fits your system if your hooking it into a 500 dollar vintage yamaha receiver buy a P-750 or 751 and a good MM cartridge and enjoy    

Mark:  Are the p750/751 vintage or current models?

Jump on a 1k turntable asap not Yamaha though.

EBM, well then which one?
