| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Of course there are motors capable to drive 100 lbs platters by direct drive or idler. But not with excellent results - at least not compared to what is possible.Credible arguments for a light and responsive platter.....??Very interesting - give m... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Dgarretson, if you want more grip you may need a slightly thicker thread. If you want less grip make it thin. The knot itself - there is no secrect. Just make sure to make a knot which is on one side only. Yes - that way the knot will wander ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Jloveys, teh Verdier Magnum has some very interesting points. The oil pressure bearing is an extremely good solution for a bearing which is both - able to handle very high platter weight AND provides a very low friction and extremely high dam... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Well Dan_Ed, you might see it as a complex system. It is to some extend - as I have mentioned before. But not all that bad. Flame war ? No, I am after results - not opinions.But it seems very hard to get the message out. | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Can we return to a discussion about technical issues on turntables......Do someone have some technical input to give.Otherwise I will rather continue watching FC Barcelona destroy FC Bayern München (which by the way - is today a display of applied... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Dan-Ed, the turntable stands alone............. alone......... it does not have to be integrated into the audio-system. It does not depend on any other part of the audio chain.There is no language barrier.I find it funny that several other po... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Lewm, I certainly do not want to get into an argument about idler, dd or belt drive. Yes, I agree - everyone has his opinion. And I do not have any problem with other opinion. But I still see this as not about personal opinions but technical ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Mrjstark, indeed - many music critics who never played an instrument and many TT designers who never understood what they are doing. If we already have so many weak links why adding another.......But this will lead us nowhere.I have my points... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Lewm, well my comment about an idler drive in turntable design today should be clear. Not really curing one problem ( draw a force vector diagram and give it a deep thought - the bearing of an idler drive (motor force applied to the underside... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction One afterthought: when I mentioned that none of the compromises in my earlier design were detected and weren't detected either by other designers in their design this was NOT ment to be understood as me being a "better" designer. Not so. I am not ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Dan_Ed, I can't offer the eloquence displayed in your opening sentence of the last post, however I will once and for last try to clarify my point:Compromises where they are inevitable.As for the questions asked:- no, string tension was not th... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Dan-Ed, yes, are you happy we arrived in the "real world" (was Neo happy when Morpheus showed it to him...?). Of course, compromises are there. WHERE they can not be avoided I agree to them. However - I can't stress this often enough: the one... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Dan_Ed, agreed on the large scale.And yes, - there will always be "some" (I hardly can write the word...) "compromise". However NOT SO FAST.I do get the impression that most designers are seeking for the nearest possible compromise.That the r... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Mrjstark, if you ever should try different belt materials on a force free lateral (horizontal) bearing, you will observe that the noteable differences in sound will be much less compared with the differences noted in the "standard" (=one moto... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Restock, a superb post - thank you very much! I would like to mention however that I do not see me in some kind of opposition regarding Teres, Raul or any other of the well-respected contributors to this thread.I just wanted to clarify the po... |
