VPI turntable again......


Hi,
I make my judgement on any product based on observation and common scense. I never own a VPI turntable and I never will since I don't believe in their design. The VPI design just don't make scense to me.

Let see some of the VPI's design....like the tri-pulley design. It just don't make scense at all....just the bearing(the one which support the platter) already make a lot of noise and you can hear it !!! Now add three tiny pulley and spinning at high speed.....I really don't know how many rpm. At that small size....may be a 800 rpm !!!! And there are a total three high speed pulley spinning at 800 rpm....It is a truly noise make machine !!!! Where did the noise goes? It has to go somewhere...it won't just disappear into thin air....again you can hear more noise and it all come out from you speaker.

And another design is two motor driving one pully and then the turntable.....no two motor turn with 100% accuracy...there is always some variation in speed...Beside one motor is noisy enough, now add two. Double the noise output. Where did all the motor noise goes? Again, you can hear it from you speaker.

If I made someone angry in my earlier post....I apology. I hope this post help you to understand why I'm saying what I said.

Peace.............

Dear Edle:
" VPI turntable again......

No one, including you, can speak about supposed noise ( through the speaker ) in a turntable only by " common scense ".
All the turntables makes noises and these noises comes from different places in the TT, this is not the subject: the subject is if all those noises affect the sound reproduction and if we can hear those noises.
Till to now I never hear from any one that the VPI TTs had
a noise that can hear through the speakers ( BTW, I never hear it for any top Highend TT ).
Which your point? that you are against VPI TT?. Not big deal.
Why don't ask directly to VPI Industries the S/N ratio value of their TTs, I'm sure that this value it will be around 80db ( DIN B ) and it is inaudible for you or for any one, but dogs.
Now, in the remote case that you already hear that supposed VPI noise then tell us ( link by link on the audio chain sytem ) the whole audio system where you hear it and do it, too, a favor to all VPI owners: do a report to VPI Industries.
Regards and always enjoy the music.

Edle: " Have you try a turntable with air bearing or magnetic suspension before? If not, you don't know what you are talking about..".

Who don't know what are talking about is you. You really don't have any point.
You can't give me any answer. BTW which is your analog rig?
Regards and enjoy the music.
Dear Edle:****" Double the noise output. Where did all the motor noise goes? Again, you can hear it from you speaker."*****
This is your whole point. Well, anybody ( VPI owners )have any compliants about.

***"I make my judgement on any product based on observation and common scense."****

At least on this VPI subject your " observation and common scense " it is totally wrong. It is very clear that you don't have any idea or know how about your point. Period.
