Why three motors?
Donwunder: "Where did you get that information from?? Exactly where has TW changed course??"I have seen the 3-motors version on their website before and now it's NOT listed on their website - http://www.tw-acustic.de/engl/turntables - so I made an... 
Spiral Groove Centroid tonearm
The concept is that you pass the blunt end of a 1mm drill shaft through the Centroid headshell and also partly into the body of a Delos or Kleos. This will align the stylus of the Delos/Kleos where it needs to be in the Centroid.Cool! I wish all c... 
Why three motors?
FYI, I posted two images of the Raven turntable, each with two different tonearms. 1st image with Analog-Tools 12" tonearm and Audiocraft AC-4000 12" tonearm2nd image with Schroeder DSP 9" tonearm and Dynavector DV-507 9" tonearmBoth turntables ha... 
VPI JMW 12.7 Spindle/pivot distance
Since the spindle to pivot distance is known, you can figure the rest by using this calculator: http://www.vinylengine.com/tonearm_alignment_calculator.php_____ 
Why three motors?
"Thomas did something that was amazing. He listened to one motor, two motors, 3 motors, multiple belts and came up to the conclusion that 3 motors with one belt sounded better."You skipped the process of him listening to THREE side of the belt tou... 
Why three motors?
Thanks for your idea about the belt arrangement. But I seriously doubt the designer intended that way and if he did, that's a rather belabored effort to achieve small contact area by using THREE motors and not to mention belt slip. Oy! Why not jus... 
Why three motors?
I really should have changed the titled question from "Why three motors?" to "Why such belt arrangement?" I am less interested in why using three motors but in why they arrange the belt in a 3-motor design that only one side of the belt is touchin... 
Why three motors?
Various three motor turntables in different belt arrangement, either single belt or triple belts and all of them have the platter touching THREE sides of the belts. AudionoteTransrotor Clearaudio_____

T_bone: "Any idea what the tonearm with the wooden armpipe is?"It's a German tonearm made of ebony. _______________________________One of the explanations about the belt arrangement I read is that it simulates an idler wheel with low contact area.... 
Why three motors?
Sorry, I should have asked the question differently. With three motors, why have ONE side of the belt touching the platter? It's the belt arrangement that I question. What is the point of that? With two motors, side torque is eliminated or equaliz... 
Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables
Shrevie: "I find the reaction by the poster who was shocked that I had heard such things about DD pretty disingenuous. Do we not read the same magazines? Have you ever seen Technics listed as a recommended component, best buy, etc.? I haven't."We ... 
Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement
Having a high end CD player is like having the best standard definition tv monitor, 525 lines. But having a turntable is like having a 16mm projector. If the 16mm film print material is in good condition you will have very little scratch and its r...

"I have read nothing but bad things about direct drive tables: rumble, resonance from the motor under the platter. Are these issues overstated?" Yes. I wonder where you read these "nothing but bad things" from. After all, the most highly regarded ...

12-inch armwand on Graham Phantom II?
And what about the offset angle at the magneglide system? The offset angle at the bearings matches the cartridge offset angle, approximately 23 degrees, so when changing azimuth would not affect the VTA. Since the offset angle for 9" is different ...
