CSPort Turntable speed control

@rauliruegas , The SME 60 is a fine turntable. It has all the feature I deem crucial in a turntable. It's major issue is the price and the fact that you can not get it without the arm. I'm sure the arm is excellent. The Dohmann's claim to fame is it's negative stiffness suspension in both vertical and horizontal directions. I suspect it is superior to the SME's suspension but I have no proof of this. It can mount two tonearms of any size. The SME is limited to one 9" arm. As you are aware we agree that arms longer than 9" are inferior. However, there are arms like the Reed 5A and Schoder LT that require more space even though their arms are actually shorter than 9". 

I read Michael Fremer's review of the 60 and he made one glaring error I would like to correct. Al Conti did not invent the hanging four point suspension. David Fletcher did when he designed the original SOTA Sapphire. David and Al were good friends and was by all accounts honored that Al wanted to use his design for the Debut. The only difference is that the SOTA's suspension is hidden by it's cover.  

@rauliruegas , Mark Dohmann enlisted MinusK to help design the suspension under his turntable because he realized that it offered benefits that no other type of suspension could. You have to look into what a negative stiffness suspension does. The majority of them are not used under turntables, they are used under scanning electron microscopes and other sensitive lab equipment. The suspension in all SMEs, Avids, Sotas and Basis turntables do not offer any significant benefit over David Fletchers original design. They all hang the platform from springs and add various forms of damping. The MinusK does not work this way and I am not good at explaining it so I encourage you to go to the MinusK web site and read up on it. One major claim to fame SEM has is a construction quality second to none. The one thing they have to do is stop making everyone's decisions for them. I would like to be able to mount my own arm thank you.
