    I used to subscribe to Studio Sound. I found it far more interesting than the, then, current audio press of the '80s; what with all their 'Linn/Naim' hysterical nonsense!

    Mat aside, I think the YP800 could still deliver the goods, correctly sited and pickup'd. Like many great Jap products on sale in the UK at this time, it was gone before it established itself...

    Not for me at this time though..

    The yp is a good deck, that photo has the wrong headshell as you say...

    i bought one a few years ago.. it's a very nice sounding deck... i use the old decks (124's really) in favour of it .. just because i like them more.. i should get it out for another go...mine has the cover missing ... otherwise its really nice.

    i have a very nice old garard in the garage too... a good place for it..
    i think thats an ap76..

    too many decks....

    cheers

    I dare not ask for the AP76, much as I hold fairly fond memories of it.
    Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
    Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

    Hi dude,

    What's with the sad face? You know our policy with regard to new members and introductions.

    Also, 'Bluedroog' joined in January this year before the current system was implemented, hence why I've had to remind him of the procedure, rather than the system automatically prompting him to fill in his profile details...

    However, there will gradually be less of these types of posts from the management team, and eventually none whatsoever, once the new system kicks in for everyone

    Marco.
