    Sansui SR-838 - An Atypical Speed Issue

    I've had significant speed fluctuations and other issues with my otherwise sexy SR-838. Most of the drama has been covered in @JimEGR's Sansui turntable thread, if you're so inclined. I'm happy to say that my tech seems to have resolved the worst of it and it's mostly under control. I've been...

    Sansui SR-838 headshell socket replacement

    The Sansui SR-838 turntable I just acquired is missing the screw/fastener that holds the headshell tonearm socket in the tone arm tube. Also, when I try to mount the headshell, one of the loose socket pins pushes back into the tone arm tube and does not seat. I have the original Sansui azimuth...

    Sansui SR-838 vs. Yamaha PF 1000 - Opinions on differences?

    Hello: I have a nicely operating Sansui SR-838 (with an Ortofon 2M Bronze). I've been using it for a decade. I have access to a Yamaha PF 1000 for $800 (no cart), which appears to be in fine shape, but is too far away to listen to. Anyone have any experience with the Yammie compared to the Sansui?
