Yamaha PX-3
Natural
Sound Linear Tracking Turntable
Yamaha
technology allows the PX-3 to take full advantage of the linear tracking design
to deliver truly natural music reproduction. The Yamaha linear tracking system
virtually eliminates tracking error and inside force for greatly reduced
distortion, minimum crosstalk, and exceptional stereo imaging. Like the PX-2,
the PX-3 also incorporates a straight perfectly symmetrical, optimum mass
tonearm and quartz-lock PLL-servodirect drive system. This turntable is a
pleasure to operate, as well, thanks to a specially developed Yamaha logic LSI
which provides extensive control convenience and flexibility. Operation is
fully automatic, with two-speed tonearm positioning and repead capabilities
also included.

Yamaha PX-2
Natural
Sound Linear Tracking Turntable
The PX-2
employs a highly sophisticated linear tracking mechanism which enablos it to
actually achieve the linear tracking ideal: precisely recreating the movement
of the head which originally cut the record. Truly accurate, faithful sound
reproduction has finally become possible. This mechanism, combined with
yamaha's symmetrically balanced, optimum mass, straight tonearm and quartz-lock
PLL-servo direct drive system, provides unparalleled turntable performance.
Operating convenience is also far above average, with two-speed tonearm
positioning, one-touch disc size selection/play initiation, repet function, and
IC logic controls.
