Yamaha GT 2000 Gigantic and Tremendous

The Yamaha GT-2000, launched in 1982 during Japan’s "Golden Era" of audiophile gear, is a legendary direct-drive turntable that has earned respect worldwide, despite being exclusive to Japan. For American audiophiles, this turntable is a rare gem that represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance. The hefty 12.8-pound aluminum platter ensures rock-solid stability and pitch-perfect sound reproduction that’ll make your records sing like never before.

Visually, the GT-2000 is a stunning piece of engineering. Beyond its eye-catching design, the turntable’s precise construction and attention to detail make it a must-have for serious collectors. This model even includes an automatic arm-lifting feature, adding a modern convenience to this classic piece.

Despite its age, this unit is in very good condition with some signs of wear (be sure to check the pictures for details). The only significant flaw is that one of the feet needs to have the bottom glued back on. This could have been easily repaired, but I wanted the new owner to have that done to their satisfaction. However, you can rest easy knowing that this turntable has been thoroughly tested by a professional technician, and it performs flawlessly, just as you'd expect from Yamaha's legendary build quality. This is a piece of audio history that was built to last a lifetime and still delivers today.
