ABOUT THIS ITEM

The Yamaha GT-2000 is a legendary heavyweight direct-drive turntable made in Japan by Yamaha, produced from 1982 to 1992 during the golden era of Japanese audio. The "GT" stands for "Gigantic & Tremendous," and the GT-2000 lives up to the name as a nearly 28 kg beast built to a no-compromise standard, finished in the same rugged black as Yamaha's famous NS-1000M loudspeaker. It is driven by a DC 4-phase, 8-pole bi-directional servo motor with quartz-lock control for accurate, stable rotation, turning a huge 37.4 cm, 5.8 kg hot-forged anodized aluminum platter with a very high moment of inertia of 1.2 t/cm² and a strong 2 kg/cm starting torque, achieving an exceptionally low wow and flutter of 0.005% and an 85 dB signal-to-noise ratio. It supports 33 and 45 rpm and is fitted with the YA-39 precision gimbal-supported S-shaped tonearm, a static-balanced arm with a 26.2 cm effective length. Its heavy 5-layer particle-board plinth sits on height-adjustable spring-and-rubber insulator feet for excellent vibration isolation, and the deck accepts a wide range of Yamaha's optional accessories. A superbly engineered analog centerpiece, the GT-2000 remains one of the most respected and sought-after Japanese turntables ever made.

・Power Supply Voltage: AC 100V, 50/60 Hz (Japanese domestic model). Please use a suitable step-down transformer in 110–240V regions.
