Why three motors?



Can someone enlighten me on the wisdom of having a three motor turntable like the TW Acustic with only ONE side of the belt touching the platter?

Here is an example.

I just don't get it...

With three motors you improve dynamics,timing,sound imaging,etc more than someone can imagine.I did this improvement few weeks ago and results are astonishing.
Adding the motors you bit down jojo effect of the belt on 1 third,the turning force is tripled and this give you better dynamic and timing.I add also heavy pulleys on motors,so the plate is running even more smooth and the strong groove modulations do not stop it so easy.For even smoother turning I did add on every motor .22mf cap,so they are shifted from each other for 120degres and yes they are connected in series and therefore I will have to add a transformer to rise me up the voltage from 220 on cca 330v.

With regards
