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...

Gents, let me explain,this is a very compex response so read carefully.

Thomas did something that was amazing. He listened to one motor, two motors, 3 motors, multiple belts and came up to the conclusion that 3 motors with one belt sounded better. Thomas quoted.

" The three motors give you a more relaxed sound. All instruments and vocals are better imaged. They just take you one little step closer to live music."

BTW, I have no idea why 3 motors sound better.

Hey Dertonarm
I almost fell off my chair. 3 posts about TW and not one negative jibe. You must be in therapy or something :-)
Hiho said - "Even more curious, is that the manufacturer no longer have such configuration. And I have to ask why again. Was it a flop and had to change course again? Are those 3-motor turntable owners still sticking to that belt arrangement? If change, what do you do with the extra motors? "

Where did you get that information from??. The AC is available as a AC-1, AC-2 AC-3 (1,2 or 3 motors) and with the Black Knight motor.
He also orders the battery power supply from the black knight on the AC if you want it. I preferred the standard motor.

Exactly where has TW changed course??
