| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Melbguy1, no worries. There's no best or worst and whatever in between is why we called this a hobby. It doesn't matter what drive system you use. Whether it's belt drive or steam engine drive, as long as it meets your need. Most important of all,... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy > Lewm: "The L07D is among those that use the servo feedback sparingly or gently, whichever term fits best."I don't know enough of electronics to decipher servo circuits but I do know one DIYer in another forum tinkered with the servo on a heav... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Lewm: "I would be wary that the TMD system adds unwanted compliance where there is already some unwanted compliance from the belt itself."Maybe this is the reason the EAR Disk Master uses noncompliant gear belt to lessen the compliance in sum with... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro: "Perhaps the key to the accuracy and consistency of many DD turntables.....is their inbuilt ability to monitor the platter speed against a quartz crystal timing device......and make instant corrections for any deviations."While I am a fan ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Melbguy1: "It is really simplistic to simply say direct drive is superior to Transrotor's TMD. That is like saying Lexus is superior to Rolls Royce."I did NOT say direct-drive is superior to anything. I own all three drive systems: belt-drive, idl... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference 03-15-11: Melbguy1I received this reply directly from Transrotor in response to a question asking why they decided on the belt, as opposed to direct drive approach:"We chose the belt drive because we think it is the best way not to bring resonance... | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Rahman: "Needless to say, Jeremy72/Chris74 was subsequently banned from that site."Hmm... well, well, well... Thanks for the info! _______ | |

| Turntable speed accuracy Stop all these turntable tests, for now, on speed accuracy and enjoy the Super Bowl! Enjoy the food! _______ | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm: "no need for me to know anything more than what I have learned by casual reading."That's very zen. I need to do that myself. Bill Belichick has a sign at his team facility that says "Ignore the noise." Good advice. _______ | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Atmasphere: "Were it not for the motor in the 208, I'm not sure I would even be messing with belt-drive at all."I share that sentiment. Lewm: " I actually thought that the term "Papst" (Pabst?) refers to a particular motor configuration, patented ... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Czapp, thanks for providing the details of the sound. I do not know what element of the sound is "captivating" to you. While the things you listed are important in sound quality and certainly can enhance listening experience but for me I have noti... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm: " As you know also, the next mod was to remove the rubber bushing at the anchor point of the idler arm, so as to disallow even that small amount of play at its pivot. I have not done that, in the belief that there is some benefit to dissipat... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Czapp: "The German table did everything right; it just had no soul."How do you know it did EVERYTHING right? Is it because it is "extremely well reviewed"? Obviously, something is not right. If you can't quantify it, then it's rather hard to corre... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Onhwy61: "...it does open the possibility that I'll one day like heavy metal (all variants) if I just hear it with the right power outlet cover.'It might work if you play the record on a turntable with a really thick stainless steel platter. _______ |
