speed controller for Lenco or Garrard


Hi,

there seems to be newer speed controllers for lenco and garrard tt from sound carrier in US and long dog audio in UK.....anyone successfully use either of these or other speed controller power supplies for their lenco or garrard?

thanks

How does the Condor set the phase for the motor? is it done digitally or with capacitors as traditional . I ask because over on AK there is a poster touting the Gem Dandy DMD controller and motor .

I like the Eclipse package because of the added benefit of the Roadrunner.

he states that setting the 90° phase in the gem dandy is done digitally and is superior and eliminates ant mechanical motor noise and electrical motor noise.

Just curious which way the Condor does this, I understand this is a three phase motor so its slightly different.

Since my post above I did buy a LongDog Audio controller for my Thorens TD124 from Robin Wyatt of Robyatt Audio in upstate NY. It seems to be equally effective as my Russian (or perhaps Ukranian) -built PSU that Ray Clark sells out of the UK which I still use with my 301. Fwiw, I tried to buy a second PSU from Ray Clark (a well known Garrard 301/401 specialist) and it seems he has gotten old and forgetful. I got tired of continually asking him to sell me one of his PSU's and simply started looking elsewhere. The LongDog has a quartz lock loop, I believe, that seems to control speed effectively. What I don't care for with the LongDog is that the speed controller is a bit counter-intuitive to use. It's hard to explain. Just trust me. Robin Wyatt btw is a pure pleasure to work with. Says something about him that he was best friends with Art Dudley and that Julia trusted Robin to sell Art's audio gear.
