the tp1010 is such a kick ass, overlooked and underrated tt. It absolutely destroys my buddies $600 rt85.

I had found the GE version of that first deck for $5. after a little cleanup it was spinning like a champ. I gave it to my son who passed it along to a friend when I found him that deck badged Technics, this time for...yep, $5. They're both still running as primaries over three years later. The technics had it's original grounding wire.

Great! Glad to see the old stuff

The Pioneer turntables were very good in their days

I've have heard all three of these and the all sound a bit different even using the same cartridge (especially sound staging) I wouldn't underestimate the JVC.

That's not pitch control on the JVC, it's the anti-skating.

Hi..Iv Still Got My Old 1977 Leak 3001 Transcription Unit Through A Leak 3400 Amp With Wharfdale Xp 2 Speakers, Amp Makes a Humming Noise , Turntable Needs A New Belt And The Cartridge Needs Replacing ( Audiotronic Amc 70 Ed.Want to Start Playing My Old Vinyl Again, This System Used to Sound Really Good But It's Been A Bit Neglected Over The Years, Is It Worth Keeping It I Ask Myself?!!

Your JVC’s slipmat is upside down ;)

Are you sure about the Q2? To my recollection, with quartz lock, there is no speed adjustment. I coudl d be wrong.

I used the Shure M91ED stylus on my Pioneer PL-A45D turntable. If Shure isn’t making them anymore what is a good replacement?

.Thers a step up model from that paticular Jvc id like to track down.Q series ?..Modify the tone-arm. If i ever locate one.Currently I own 2 mid 80s H.Ks ! I also like some of the Higher end Kenwoods Pioneers Micro Seiki..(Not watch)but rarely find used! Stay away from Onkyo they tend to distort if set up improperly Grado cartridges bad match!

Use a dirt cheap strobe template on the JVC. As for the arm, don't belittle the straight one. Neither the straight or curved is better, if properly implememted.
