TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
I also suspect the thread/belt drive and idler/rim drive have a different physical optimum of the motor strength/platter inertia, so I doubt one can have a universal solution here, as they propose.

Brf, you can think...when you start to listen&measure it can be adifferent experience. I'd not waste my resources on precisely machined copper plate without a mathing rubber surface...and we haven't touched the motor yet 
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
Lewm, looking at the rubber on the motor's shaft it does not look like a precisely machined surface, but I may be wrong. I'm also wondering how they engage/disengage the motor? 
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
From how it looks (I'm not familiar with rim drive, more with idlers), the motor drives directly the platter through a rubber O-ring put on it's shaft. I think it's quite a problematic solution: 1) I'm sure they can machine the rim to a great degr... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Raul, I think just one plain number as W&F tells you as muchabout a TT as a shoe size about a girl. Sticking to it has as much sense as sticking to THD with amps. Have you ever heard a good sounding amp with 0.000000001% THD? Just like THD is ...

TTweights, technology itself, hoewever advanced, does not gurantee anything. The unfortunate marketing figures of merit "W&W below 0.0000000x%", "axis polished to xx um", etc are useless in on their own. We've learne that lesson with THD in am...

are you familiar with the Jean Nantais Lenco L75 - EMT927 Haha! The guy sounds like a typical megalomaniac. He claims his Lencos outerformed this ot that TT without any concrete evidence: in what areas and how exactly outperformed, what was the r... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
1. How does the 927 compared to 930 which is also an Idler drive ? Or for that matter how is the 950 in comparison ? Is there big gap between 927 and all other EMTs ?Pani, owing a 930, I've been asking myself the same question.Here is +/- only con...

Best MC step up transformer

Tonearm Rewire - Discovery vs VDH
Hey Frogman! Thank you for your reply. One correction: I wanted to use 5mm PTFE foam tape around the whole cable.I'd ike to have some "high quality distance" between the teflon tubing with the AN wire and the braid. In other words, I'd prefer not ... 
Tonearm Rewire - Discovery vs VDH
Frogman, very interesting post! Thank you.I have been struggling with the same idea of eliminating(at least one of the) RCA-RCA joints: I'm thinkingof rewiring my SME3012R with AN wire ommiting the SMERCA base, leaving a +/- 1m continous run of th...
