Here is a turntable that I miss, the Mitsubishi DP-EC8. It's one of those odd turntable that you don't see very often, and this one is the second one to ever come into my hands. I really like these turntables, as they're well built, they sound great and the foot print is smaller than most turntables. It's a tad more slimline than most, which is a plus for some.
Last blog posting for this turntable, I did not provide a description. This time I will!
This is a fully automatic, direct drive, quartz lock, 2-speed turntable with repeat feature. It features a straight tone arm with a carbon fiber headshell. Everything on the tone arm design from the aluminum base, the arm design itself and headshell was designed to minimize resonance.
It also features an automatic disc selector via that crystal at the rear left hand corner of the plinth. So, really, all you need to do is press some buttons. It's a very trouble free turntable as you don't really need to do anything. Everything is controlled by the push buttons on the plinth, even moving the tonearm to the left and right. It's a very neat turntable!
There's actually a very good description of it on Vinylengine.com under the Mitsubishi Medallion Catalog. The DP-EC8 was probably their top model for their non-linear tracking model turntables.
It features an Empire, yep another Empire, 2000E/III cartridge with a brand new stylus from Japan. It's not as detailed as the Empire 5000 but it is still a very nice cartridge!
Overall, it's in great shape. Dust cover may need a good buffing but, nothing is cracked and completely functional.
