You surely are an experimenter :)I knew audiophiles have been experimenting with strings but never though using broad VHS tape to spin a platter.I burst out laughing imagining two platters spinning in harmony... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive hiho, I´m glad that you are not only a theorist but also an experimenting scientist.Your VHS tape drive method is brilliant. Can I try it too, I will use my Luxman DD as a motor to drive a passive platter ? And may I ask, how did you manage unite ... | |

Great.I have only a couple of each kind but they are not mediocre decks but not the ultimate models of a particular kind either. But I know exactly what a high q... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive ^ Exactly all can sound good, it´s just a question of implementation.lewm and hiho, with all due respect I just get the impression that you are living in a world of theories and your illusions.My direct rim drive does the trick for me.

| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful ^^ Yes, it must be faulty, mine sounded good from very start. | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive Speed stability is the number one job of a TT. For years I thought that too. But it proved to be wrong in my system(s). It´s just another theory, it´s an illusion. How the music flows is essential, and the starting point is the turntable itself. E... | |
