clearthinkCleeds knows nothing about turntables ... He does not own a turntable ... Actually, there is a photo of my turntable on the "Friendly Forum for High-End Audio" site, which doesn’t allow this sort of nastiness as we see here from users such as clearthink and mijostyn. |
mijostynBelt drive tables
generally do not have enough torque to get started IMMEDIATELY like a
cuing table needs to. You need to practice your disc jockey exercises ... Nope, no practice needed. Belt drive tables can easily be used for quick starts by using a slip mat. It's called "slip cueing."
... stop sticking your nose into things it nose nothing about
... I'll post here as I see fit. If that's a problem for you, it's your problem and not mine, sir.

mijostynIf you don't know how disc jockey's cued
records, they held the platter still with their left hand, placed the
tonearm on the record at the beginning of the cut they wanted to play
then "jockeyed" the platter back and forth to the very beginning of the
cut and right on time they let the platter go. Finally the idler wheel
tables were replaced by direct drive units which were even better at
this. Actually, the pickup speed of a good idler like the old QRK broadcast tables is faster than a DD, and why idlers persisted in broadcast well into the DD era.
You can not use belt drive tables this way. Sure you can. You "slip-cue" by using a slip mat, which lets the platter spin while you hold the disc steady, and then release the disc when needed. Many radio DDs had slip mats on them for just that reason.
