During Reuben's visit to my place, he noticed a Sony Turntable being placed with my several of my 'For Sale' Turntables. Despite all the heavyweights, Reuben noticed this beast of a player and I am not surprised as it has got one of the biggest platter among Direct Drives. I clarified to Reuben that it's not for sale but is one of my prized Turntables. Though i am not a big fan of Direct Drives, this Sony player has some very unique features never seen on most players. It has a special rubberized coating under the platter which produces a low bass no DD player has been able to give. It's also got a special sticker on the dust cover which acts as an anti-static shield. It's rubber mat is oil filled and it's tone arm has a special coating and the arm assembly has got several adjustments that I have not been able to figure out what they are. I understand there is a higher version of this TT PS-8750 which has a Quartz speed control and Japanese audiophiles have been very selfish in that they were not allowed many of these models to be sold outside Japan. (Iread about this in one of the Forums) . PS-8750 is featured in vintageknob site.
