| Victor QL-Y55: | An attractive "Golden Era" direct drive turntable! |
Item Description
The Victor QL-Y55F, released only in Japan in 1981 (during the "Golden Era" of Japanese audiophile equipment), is a somewhat less well known direct drive turntable. It features all of the great characteristics you’d expect from a Japanese “Golden Era” turntable, including a high quality of build and some great technical innovations. The QL-Y55F features the same tonearm system as the advanced QL-Y77F, where the tonearm movement is XYZ feedback-controlled via a microcomputer and two coreless linear motors. The cabinet was designed to minimize any vibrational resonances, with a highly dense and robust construction. The QL-Y55F has some impressive stats, including an SNR of 78 dB (DIN-B) and wow and flutter of 0.009% WRMS (FG method). The QL-Y55F features a double servo quartz circuit to control the motor, for stable platter rotation. Additionally, the turntable has as a handsome vintage design. Overall, it’s a phenomenal unit!
