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...

This is typical german engineering. If one motor fails you still have instant replacement on hand.....

Dertonarm,
Drag of the dead motor would have to be made up by the other two motors.

Hiho,

Did you find any manufacture literature on the TT?

With three motors, why have ONE side of the belt touching the platter?

Agree.... All that motor HP available and so little belt to platter contact.
