Sold! Yamaha YP-D6 Direct Drive Turntable
« on: 4 Feb 2023, 07:01 pm »
Asking Price: $425.00 (plus shipping cost). Price lowered to $375.00 Item has been sold!

The unit is heavy, about 24 lbs!
Will be packed with great care in a heavy duty carton.

This was my brother’s, and it was always well cared for, but the dust cover has some light scratches, I’d rate it a 6 or 7 out of 10

Purchased in ‘78. Last used probably in the late eighties.
Stanton cartridge L727E is on it now.
Also included is the ADC PSX-40 it replaced.

Copy pasted from Vinaudio:
The Yamaha YP-D6 is a beautiful device!
Built in 1977, it has a very clean look which gives it a fragile appearance, but it is a heavy device, the build quality is very good, typical of Yamaha.
S-shaped arm, Auto-Return at the end of the record.
Performance specs are good: signal to noise ratio 70dB, while wow/flutter is around 0.035%.
It runs well, stable, the controls are simple, located on the right with the strobe light on the opposite side.
It is a very good performing device, nice clean sound!
They are hard to find and their value is going up…

Nice looking deck. Wasn't sure from the description:

Does it run? Does sound come out of it?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul, yes it runs, the top pic is the strobe just today.
As far as sound goes, it was working fine when last played.
I have no reason to believe that it won’t play great now.

 I’ll offer a full refund if not satisfied

Hi,

Don't overlook look these vintage turntables as they would be much better than the current offerings from Rega, project etc. Find a good turntable technician and have it serviced and install a good cartridge and your all set to go.

Good luck with the sale.

Cheers Rod

I'd take this DD Yamaha over almost any belt drive turntable.

Ships from 14127.
 I will pack it perfectly and would ship UPS ground, you would pay whatever that cost is.
