| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Well, you can still get a Caliburn for half price on eBay. I think Teres is no longer making their DD tables as they are not featured on their website anymore. _______ | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable I agree with Stringreen that the market will decide if the price is right for the VPI Direct. Arguing about the price is fruitless. I applaud VPI for introducing a new drive system from their usual belters. I know Mr. Weisfeld is a collector of vi... | |

| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Once again, the motor in the DD is made by ThinGap and it is modified from an off the shelf unit, model TG2310. Click here --> T H I N G A P PS. Do people know they can click on a link when it's underlined?!_______ | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable 02-05-14: Fleib:"Has the same motor as the Continuum? What does that cost?"Reportedly $4000. But the ThinGap motor does NOT include bearing assembly. It's an off the shelf unit that includes only the rotor with the magnets and the stator that the ... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Lewm, yeah $30k is a lot of money and there seems to be a few more options in that range and I really think VPI made a marketing misstep. Since I can't afford products like that, I am mainly curious about the technology. I'm not sure you've checke... | |
| Wood armwand vs Metal armwand But the wood arm can give you splinters! _______ | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Suteetat, I agree with your assessment on the production side of the turntable. But I was referring to the marketing side of it by suggesting NOT naming it Classic. Instead, just call it "Direct" would have been simpler and more, well, direct. Cal... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Lewm: "The semantics are everything in this case, I think, because those who had poisoned the public mind about DD had repeated over and over for 20 years that there must be a "noise" problem, because the motor is "directly connected" to the platt... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable New information on the motor of the new VPI direct drive turntable coming from Mark Doehmann of Continuum in Michael Fremer's Analog Planet website because the Caliburns uses a motor from the same manufacturer. Very interesting. Here's what he had... | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm Thanks, Sarcher30, for the info. I saw a DIY arm uses flex bearings before. Good to know! _______ | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm I read that the bearings are "leaf bearings" or "non-rotating polymer-metal laminate films." Can someone tell me what that is? In a video interview, the designer mentioned the bearings do not have to pivot up and down or left and right and have li... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... Even though the Thales Simplicity is a pivoting tangential tracker with its own idiosyncrasy, you can still align it using traditional methods. You can use a typical paper template or protractor to confirm alignment. Since there's no overhang and ... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... Overhang has little to do with SRA/VTA. Linear arm can adjust overhang/underhang to zero too. _______ |
