Because it sounds better done right like my TW RAVEN AC3.
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...

Do not try to find a reason: it is all written in this small excerpt about the three motor configuration taken from the review "TW-Acustic Raven AC setting new trends.By Holger Barske, Editor in chief, LP magazine (Issue 6/06)" Tom Woschnick simply grins when confronted with this objection: Ive tried everything it simply sounds better like that. |
Do not try to find a reason "TW-Acustic Raven AC setting new trends" by Holger Barske, Editor in chief, LP magazine (Issue 6/06) I gave up before even reading the above. I will just join the cult of voodoo science. Thanks for alerting me the review. _____ |
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 Tom PS My English is not so good,but I hope understandable. |
Dear Mosin (06-07-10), 'it has accured to me that a single motor with two equidistant pullys might be an improvement over traditional schemes'. Well P. Lurne made exactly such an arrangement by his Audiomeca J1 and J4. I owned the J1. The strange thing is (ie not intentional) that I subsitute the J1 for the Kuzma Stabi Reference with 'the same' arrangement but two motors. Regards, |
