DOUBLE-FLOAT SUSPENSION. TWIN PIPES. TAKE IT FOR A SPIN.

From the ground up, our new Yamaha PF-800 was engineered to eliminate the most common and annoying problems inherent in turntable performance. In terms of tracking accuracy and isolation from vibration, the PF-800 is the most advanced way yet to spin a record.

To eliminate unwanted vibrations, we designed a double-float suspension system.

It starts with the feet. Through a special combination spring/rubber damping system, they stop practically all external vibrations in their tracks.

Next, we mount the sub-chassis by a three-point spring suspension to absorb any chassis vibrations before they reach the platter.

And instead of being mounted on top of the springs, the sub-chassis is suspended from the springs. This lowers the center of gravity to give you the best possible record handling in the curves.

To avoid creating internal vibrations that could reach the platter, we use an FG servo motor and a vibration-absorbing rubber drive belt.

------------Double Float Suspension System effectively isolates turntable chassis from virtually all vibrations.

So now you don't have any vibrations but the good ones from the music.

And to keep that music precisely on track, the PF-800 uses our latest model tonearm.

It's dynamically balanced to remain

--------Twin-pipe tonearm provides superior horizontal tracking accuracy and maximum channel separation.

unaffected by sudden vertical acceleration (such as from record warp). It has optimum mass/ minimum resonance to provide maximum performance from any type of cartridge. And unique twin pipes to resist flex and provide the widest signal separation possible.

There's a lot more we could say about the PF-800. But why not visit your Yamaha dealer and take one for a spin? Your mileage may vary. But your satisfaction will be consistent.
