RE: I've had a crazy number of tables ...

I remember visiting a Fort Worth dealership (Marvin Electronics?) in the late seventies. The salesman was showing me the Yamaha YP-D10 turntable, a precursor of the GT-1000. He asked me to try to stop the spinning turntable with my thumb and forefinger. I could not. High-mass platter and high-torque direct-drive motor indeed! Always wanted one because of that demo in addition to the turntable's appearance. Closest I ever got to it was a Kenwood KD-500 and Technics SL-1210MK2.
