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 wow & flutter (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.
