Top condition – really lovely. Very well cared for. Fully serviced. Come & take a look & listen.
Hardly used – that’s why we’ve listed it – we have too many TTs in the private collection & the wheels of commerce must keep moving.
User guide provided on soft copy.
Independently Tested & Tagged for electrical safety.
NB. You’ll need a strong shelf – it’s about 11KG!
Huge amount of praise to be seen on the Internet, but here’s the run down….
Very innovative tech used in this TT – Electronic ‘feedback’ controlled motor that actually rotates at either 33.3 or 45 RPM – no requirement for ‘step down’ gears, belts, idler etc. This removes rumble (noise). The motor is so resonance free it can be directly mounted to the TT chassis without isolation, further eliminating noise etc.
Stroboscopic pitch control – looking glass provides view of strobe disk.
Internally grounded – no need to loop to amps ground & zero chance of ground loop hum.
Auto start & return. Manual operation also.
Empire 2000 cart & stylus in as new condition – From FiFs ‘New, old stock’ secrete stash.
Not that we’ve added the full cost of this cart in this configuration to the TT, but this would set you back a tidy sum if purchasing separately. Fortunately you can easily source replacement stylus for these – Approx $50 USD for a genuine replacement, or approx. $100 NZD for a locally sourced copy.
The beauty & reputation of this TT is well put in this Internet article – https://insheepsclothinghifi.com/dual-701-yamaha-yp-701/. BTW – if you like the look of the Yamaha 701 (also detailed in this article), we have one of those coming up soon.
