I have read a thread in the past Clearaudio with 3 motors sounded best with only 1 belt. this guy has experimented with all possible configuration and found the sound to improve significantly with only 1 belt. his hypothesis was 3 motors + 3 belts variation is higher than 3 motors + 1 belt variation, therefore using 1 belt vs. 3 reduces the overall variation produced by the drivetrain. YMMV.
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...
