speed controller for Lenco or Garrard

Bill, "Condor" refers to the PSU supplied with the Eclipse kit by SOTA?

Yes, Condor is the name of the 3 phase PSU.

How does the Condor set the phase for the motor? is it done digitally or with capacitors as traditional . I ask because over on AK there is a poster touting the Gem Dandy DMD controller and motor .

I like the Eclipse package because of the added benefit of the Roadrunner.

he states that setting the 90° phase in the gem dandy is done digitally and is superior and eliminates ant mechanical motor noise and electrical motor noise.

Just curious which way the Condor does this, I understand this is a three phase motor so its slightly different.

Since my post above I did buy a LongDog Audio controller for my Thorens TD124 from Robin Wyatt of Robyatt Audio in upstate NY. It seems to be equally effective as my Russian (or perhaps Ukranian) -built PSU that Ray Clark sells out of the UK which I still use with my 301. Fwiw, I tried to buy a second PSU from Ray Clark (a well known Garrard 301/401 specialist) and it seems he has gotten old and forgetful. I got tired of continually asking him to sell me one of his PSU's and simply started looking elsewhere. The LongDog has a quartz lock loop, I believe, that seems to control speed effectively. What I don't care for with the LongDog is that the speed controller is a bit counter-intuitive to use. It's hard to explain. Just trust me. Robin Wyatt btw is a pure pleasure to work with. Says something about him that he was best friends with Art Dudley and that Julia trusted Robin to sell Art's audio gear.
