Rare High end 2 Speed Direct-Drive Turntable with 12 pole brushless DC servo motor. Although most turntables have the speed markers for the strobe etched or painted on the edge of the disc, Yamaha did something else. The markings are located under the drive and are visible only by what they called the Mirror-Scope, that small window in the upper panel at the bottom of the scale. On the plateau is a cartel mat with serrated edge that resists negative feedback. It also has four rubber shock absorber legs, each of which is individually adjustable. The user can determine whether or not the table is level with the built-in bubble level to the right of the mirror Viewer. The YP-800 weighs about 13 km, including the heavy dish of 2.5 kilos. The tonearm uses a Gimbal-support of the cast GYRO-gyroscope. Cueing is hydraulically damped and the anti-skate is designed for the lowest possible friction.
