Why three motors?

Sunnyboy, the footprint for TW short belt is 530 X 400mm. If from plint cones to motor, 500 X 400. You better double check your HRS first.

Dear Kostas,

What I have is CA Ambient with CMB bearing, and TW AC1, both have only one motor.

I'm using Moerch DP6 with CA Stradivari catridge. The switch of CA 33/45 malfunction, and have to send back to manufacturer. So I got TW, and transfer the tonearm and cart to it.

Ok, my understanding in layman term, the belt will somehow suck the life out of the music. So the least the contact of the belt with the platter, the better. I owned Raven AC with one motor and in the process of ordering the 2nd motor.I also believed the two motor setup is more balance.

Regarding the Black Knight, the position of the motors have better grip with the belt. Who knows, Mr Thomas might come up with another set of motors on the other side of the plint in the future.

Yeah, Hiho did alarmed me. For a while, I thought my 3 months TW Raven is obsolete.

This is audio, and not everything can be measure. Before the TW I owned the one with ceramic magnetic bearing. And my perception was TW could never beat it in this aspect.A no contact floating spindle. I bought TW because it's massive, beautiful, black...And what, TW sound way, way better,and I'm using the same tonearm, cart...Btw I never heard of Caliburn, Walker and Transrotor.

Hello Sunnyboy, seen your setup. Why not use the short belt?

Sunnyboy, TW has short belt for AC1. When used, the motor is just 4mm from the plint. With it, you can position your TW squarely on the HRS platform. But the long belt would have larger contact area with the pulley.

Sunnyboy, your welcome. Actually you can try it now even without the belt. Just position the motor about 4mm from the plint, and you'll have the idea if it would fit or not.
