I have to jump in here, perhaps a little late, but I have definitely enjoyed the banter. Especially the literary references; and I thought I was the only one who kept an unabridged Websters first edition at my reach. And what does my wife mean when she walks in the room and says "if you spent a third of the time you spend on this stereo stuff on our rlationship things would be better". This reminds me of a line from a poem I like "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing thiers and blaming it on you"
Back to the topic:
Question #1- Is the torque(twisting force)acheived by the platter dependent solely(sp) on it's driving force, or does it at some point become a product of it's rotating mass?
#2 If the bearing matches the mass of the platter, no matter how great (e.g. the fan blade on a jet engine), are the problems brought up about bearings solved?
#3 I believe the Feikert Twin TT uses a kevlar belt. Not much stretch there. If the belt is for all practical puposes stretchless, does it become a direct drive?
Thank you all for your responses, I appreciate the time you put in this, even if my wife doesn't.
