| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong i was browsing WBF and came upon an exchange between you and @mtemur . There was a change in shaft size during 2010 for the La Platine. And you had written to the new owner of Verdier to inquire about getting the new shaft part. Did you... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Thank you for the list of prestigious TT using dual AC motor controlier, @richardkrebs Thank you for that simple explanation of the three phase motor. If executed correctly, surely a motor with 'phase concellation' to achieve vitual li... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray My apologies for the late response, experienced repeated failed attempts to log-in to Audiogon for the past five days. A shout out to Tammy at Audiogon who helped resolve this. I have been reading with interest your new motor escapade,... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I just wanted to post the images above as I have been fiddling with motor and belts. this is a Jasmine motor I bought many years ago as a stand by. I had recently used it with a flat belt bought from Origin Live. However, the flat belt does not q... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray Thanks for the update. I have a layer of solid wood with 5cm thickness and another layer of marble with 2cm thickness, both on ebony + brass cones and cups, underneath the motor. I eagerly await result of your motor adventure. I ha... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray I think Thom contributed to this thread a while back. I would be interested to hear feedbacks from his customers who has adopted his motor to La Platine; maybe you could ask? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray Thank you for offering to sent me your belts. Please hold on to that idea. I just ordered a 2mm round belt to try. I’ll PM you. Also, please update on your motor project. @thekong Thanks for reminding me of @mtemur ‘s top choice, t... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I found the thread below from WBF, in a post on Garrard 301. But the thread refers to @mtemur, a fellow La Platine owner. And his recommendation is a Transrotor belt!? It seems to fly in the face of all this talk on suture silk and linen. But I am... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray You’re welcome on the controller chips and I hope you will not have to use them. It’s interesting your findings on going back to linen thread. My recent change to a third party Chinese motor with rubber belt from Origin Live is also very... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover Thank you for the Azzolina Audio reference. Looking at its own TT on offer, its plinth is made from a paper / resin composite with properties associated with ebony wood. @thekong The paper / resin composite would be my second choice as ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong With this recent round of plinth discussion, you bring up several interesting points. I am in the design field, and I despised MDF…..it’s birch plywood at a minimum and / or Finish plywood. But in audio, I live with it. Plinth replacement... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I tend to agree with your view on a continuous platform for both motor and plinth. However, the platform would receive substantial different weight distribution between the two units. My thought was to use Townshend seismic pods with dif... |
