The PF-800 was possibly the best TT Yamaha ever made. I wrote an article about it, plus mentioned some mods I used to have on it, on a headphone site called head-fi. Goes back a few years though.
Mind you, I wouldn't swap my own DDX-1000 for any other TT in the world.

Yes, I do have some nice kit at the moment!Originally Posted by Marco
Jerry, I'd be keeping the Carys and the Yamaha for a very long time indeed! IMO, they're the cream of your current crop of kit and amongst the best things you've ever bought
Enjoy!
Marco.
But you might be surprised at the Leema Xavier speakers - they seem to get on well with the Cary amps and are quite possibly the best all-rounders I have owned, and exceptional in their ability to throw palpable in-the-room images. I've had them some months now, without a thought of moving them on!

So much hifi to try, so little time.
