Yamaha YP-D71: Service, Setup and Cartridge Installation

Here's a high-end CEC-manufactured Yamaha deck that needs very little maintenance.

Thank you for your job and videos for rescueing this old but good machines.

beautiful yamaha turntable btw!

[@warrensparkes1223]

just had mine serviced for first time

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

I think that a worthwhile upgrade might be the DS Audio E1 Optical cartridge and associated PSU that powers the DS Audio E1.

[@davidcarr2216]

Nah mate . It needs a Japanese wooden bodied cartridge hand crafted by Japanese Sōhei Monks living in caves, deep in the Shikoku Mountains.

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

I thought that it was a Microprocessor Controlled Turntable but could the processor be on the bottom of the motor drive board.

Hi Would you be interested in looking at my JVC QL-Y55F ? The servo arm side of the table has gone dead no power at the control switches ?

[@TurntableGuy]

Sorry, I do not take shipped-in work at this time.

[@ingenfestbrems]

Why isn’t a top model quartz driven I wonder

[@paulredfern3832]

Your comment begs the question, what are some of your favorite cartridges? Thanks

[@TurntableGuy]

Shure V15 iv, AudioTechnica AT440. I like a bright sounding cart.

To me, the GRADOS have a too loud midrange. Yes, I had the 'hum' problem with them.

[@PoppinWheeliez]

Humm problem is often cured by cleaning the cartridge body and stylus contacts. There are 4 on the stylus and 4 inside the body. Qtip and alcohol removes it.

[@bikdav]

@@PoppinWheeliez That never did it in my case. It was the cartridge itself.

[@davidcarr2216]

TT Guy, you should make more videos of the ones which are more difficult to work on or exhibit unusual problems - but then you've got to remember to edit out the cussing 😄

[@TurntableGuy]

Sometimes you just need to get through the pile and can't be slowed down by the video process.

[@guyb7005]

I'm not understanding the tracking weight. You balance the arm level (horizontal) but then you move the weight back to zero (adding weight) and then again add 1.5? gr. With my Dual CS-515, I turn the counterweight to be level, then don't touch it, then add the 1.5gr with a separate dial (and then anti-skating on a 3rd dial)

[@TurntableGuy]

You don't move the weight, just the dial to zero, then turn the weight with the dial to the correct setting

[@guyb7005]

@@TurntableGuy that makes sense - thank you!

​@TurntableGuy I generally said good job and I also find Grado carts boring.
