| 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... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Regarding footers, I too am in the camp of defeating the original spring footers. However, I cannot say that the change is a sea change, as @mr_gray has experienced. And once the platter is on rigid footers, then some form of pneumatic platforms ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray Regarding the speed controller part, I bought 10, so plenty left over. PM me, and I’ll send you a couple just in case.i know a tech who helps me with the replacement work. i am using a Chinese made replacement motor with a Micro Seiki ru... | |
| Analog Magic Question Hi Bill, I am reading the thread with interest. You wrote that adjusting the azimuth and zenith are the two parameters that made the most difference. Can you elaborate on that a bit more? Specifically what is the listening experience like before a... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Strength of magnets do diminish. And based on the metallurgy of the magnet, its rate of decline differ quite a bit. I read that neodymium loses its force steadily by 1% every decade. I’ve owned my La Platine for over twenty five years. I... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover In the video, lichtenegger claims that the new TT is a straight copy of the original. He talked about the bearing being made from zamak, a soft alloy used in the original. Notwithstanding your concern about Pro-Ject’s own TTs, If the metall... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine https://youtu.be/B8ANLxmPjTs Please go to 53:33 of the video. Fremer interviewed the owner of Pro-Ject Audio, Heinz Lichtenegger, and introduced the ‘new’ La Platine at this years Munich show. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I stumbled upon this ad on the German audio-mart for a La Platine. This seller is a French audio reviewer and a neighbor of JC Verdier. He claims that his TT, bought directly from JC, has the original magnets from Holland. In his photo, the gap be... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray I do have to acknowledge comments by @pindac above about his vinyl journey. But more importantly it is about your enthusiasm for the La Platine, in particular, and your joy on full display with vinyl playing in general. It is infectious... |
