| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm OK just for fun here's something to try on a Linn/Oracle/Clearaudio...take your pickhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwugFlbCOwwI've recorded the KAB speed strobe on my Final Audio Parthenon VTT1 thread drive TT while I bash the record with my knuck... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - I agree with you, but would also add that you dont need the Timeline to tell you the speed is out on the Transrotor. The piano sounds awful - slow, turgid. Its not a good example of a high inertia deck, I suspect inadequate power supply/m... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm RichardkrebsCan you please review the video again.From 0-24 seconds you can read the 33 quite clearly, but the 33 is moving forward and back, it is not stable.From about 57 seconds on - he now has a constant load on the platter. 33 is unreadable, ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Video of Technics SL1200 - looks to be running too fast. The "33" keeps lurching forward and then slowing, repeatedly. It is non linear, like it's hunting or slewing around. Watch closely. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Yes I agree, thats pretty much what I proposed for testing to quantify the variation between that minimum and maximum drag levels and the impact of a piece of music in total...I think you misread my syntax ( no pun intended ). ("how consistant" , ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Mosin - Absolutely right, I used mass loosely. I read somewhere the EMT idler has a platter of 5.5kg ( same weight as the copper mat on my deck ) but due to its weight distribution ( 16 & 1/2" platter ) is the equivalent of a 50kg solid platte... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro/TonyI've just done the Halcro drop test of dropping the stylus on and off without adjusting the speed. The fall off in speed is minute. I would estimate it would take a couple of hours at least for the error to translate to 1 complete revol... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro - I think your test methodology would prove that only turntables with error speed correction built in will pass. We know that stylus drag exists and should always set speed with the stylus playing. The question then becomes how significant ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm RichardkrebsYes I agree on moving away from which is best to what do we need.Mosins previous posts on motors used in various idler drives for example would indicate to me that you cant even put Garrard 301/401's in the same camp as say the EMT 927... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - I think everyone does think about what you say, but many do not try suggestions out. If I was a turntable designer I'd call it inertia. If I was a cynic I'd call it laziness.The main issue I have with the nude TT approach is that I believe ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richardkrebs - Interesting post. Could you please elaborate on a couple of points.Contrary to some opinions expressed in these forums, the servo does not intervene unless an external load causes a speed change. ( this assumes that the TT has been ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Spirit of musicWhere are the specifications that suggest the Transfi has high torque.On the contrary, from their website -"Note1: The 9kg platter has immense inertia & will take a few seconds to respond to the control knob. Only very slight tw... | |
| The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio Top end audio is struggling for survival and all you guys can do is bag people for trying to sell it ... I can tell you the money is in the baby boomers and they dont want to spend weekends trawling ebay and the local flea markets. They actually l... | |
| Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift DalecrommieJust curious.....when has Quicksilver Audio ever produced a 300b amp?

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - thanks and best wishes. Agree with Raul, but there have been seminal TT designs putting forward their goals clearly in terms of the record/cartridge interface. The Final's design was based on "Kitamura's believes that energy cannot be ign... |
