@testpilot I am pleased the link was to your liking.
I'm doing a proportion of the Xmas Day Dinner and have a little time to hunt around, whilst hovering around in the Kitchen 🎅
As stated earlier in the thread, I have experienced a Prototype TT, that is designed to be contactless driven on the platter.
I have just searched out images from the event from June 2019 and have the TT in a image. As said it has a Substantial Depth Platter, approx' 5" inches deep, which I now recollect is produced from Delrin. The off board Electronic Control devices designed by the owner of 'Long Dog Audio' are also seen in the images
The Demo' given was carried out after a period given for demo's of variances of Modified Idler Drives, where replays were via a 'Long Dog Audio' Phonostage and 211 Valve Amp and a impressive design and performing OB Speaker.
The Contactless Drive Prototype was demo'd with a SME V/12, through the same Phonostage, 211 Valve Amp and the impressive design and performing OB Speaker.
The recollection has been, after the event, I contacted my friend and well known Vintage DD Overhauler/Modifier, where I was informing them, the demo' given was very much in keeping with the experience we had, when we demo'd my Heavily Modified Idler Drive to his overhauled/modified SP10 Mk II.
The Prototype stood out in a notable way for its attraction over the other TT's being demo'd. Would the Prototype be compelling enough in a comparison to my now in use DD TT, to encourage myself to move on from my now in use overhauled/modified SP10 Mk II?
The SP10 Mk II demo' given, had a profound impact, where it compelled myself to move on from the long term use of Idler Drive TT's.
