I don’t understand.
First, JP never suggested dumping Victor DD turntables. Second, in my experience the TT101 has been 100% reliable since JP repaired it. Or do you advocate dumping them because you may not be able to fit a ring?
Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources??
I'm getting the itch for a ring clamp, i.e. Wayne's Audio. He has one that works on my JVC-Victor TT81's big tapered surround. this or the other simple one, no extra weights
Seems like a smart thing to do, mt TT81 Spinner ought to have no problem with extra weight.
Positives?
Negatives?
Problems Encountered?
Sources?
as always, thanks,
Elliott

lewm, you just don’t get my sense of humor. JP Jones name was the inspiration. I am suggesting EVERY TT101, and EVERY Jag V12 powered XJS, ever made, be Deep Sixed!!!! A monstrous sigh of relief. I believe, after many years od that discussion it was Halcro who wrote: An alternative would be to buy a TT-81 for $400 on HiFiDo and live happily ever after 😁👍 |
The Link is to the producer of Periphery Rings I was in communication with. A Phosphor Bronze with custom weights produced to suit a SP10 MkII was being discussed, and was an option I could consider. There is quite a few users of this producers products and the forum discussion about the workmanship and service is very positive.

pindac thanks for the reference, but both the Denon’s and JVC Victor's were flying saucer designs, have a look at my TT81 http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-TT-81.html Wayne says one of his ringswill fit, hard to believe, but he should know. What is your experience with getting it properly centered? lewm, I think it was you and a few others that led me to the TT81 and made me aware of the potential trouble with a TT101 or 801. It was then that the 101 became synonymous with Jag V12 in my mind. (I owned and loved 1994 Jag XJS Slant 6, a wonderful car). I am happy, remember the ’NOS" TT81 I found and thought about buying. reaction was: TT81 very reliable, plentiful, don’t worry. I just got to page 33 or so, halcro linked his video showing TT81 maintained speed with 3 tonearms creating Stylus drag. https://www.youtube.com/watch? maybe I will finish today, 36 pages, is it a record length?
