| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @xdr A few questions:1. Were you using the thread drive before?2. Will the motor spindle on the SOTA Eclipse accommodate a thread drive? I believe the reduction in W&F reading is due to the belt acting on the platter.3. Have you tried a tape d... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @spiritofmusic Thanks for the Transfiguration recommendation. I’m looking into it.What kind of sonic benefits are gained through a more controlled air supply ? Could you describe a bit more? I had thought that the Terminator being a low flow sys... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine While I have been experimenting with the stock motor / thread drive , I decided to try something else. For the last 2 1/2 weeks, I switched out the stock motor with a Jasmine ( high torque?) motor and Origin Live belt. The behavior of the platter ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @spiritofmusic, excellent summary of the Strain Gauge! I Just wanted to clarify, of the many cartridges, which ones were used with the Terminator prior to the Strain Gauge? What would you recommend as an intermediate cartridge that is neutral on... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi,I am late to this thread and I have not gone through all of it. But I have just one question which might have been covered, so please excuse me for repeating:Does it come in a dual volume pot arrangement?Thanks! | |

| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @bdp24 I just wanted to mention that I have been running a ET LFT-8b since late January. The addition of the new speakers, a new pair of tube amps and the improved vinyl front end with the Terminator has really elevated the listening experience. T... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update It's fascinating to read the listening experiences of early adopters who have traded up to a brand new Terminator. It seems that the improvement over the earlier version is anything but subtle!While we all have different supporting players to the ... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lbelchev Regarding the 'braking' action, Let me rephrase so that I understand correctly. The 'brake' is provided by the viscosity of the oil acting between the axle and the bearing. As there is no vertical force acting on the plinth from the hea... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Chris, I have a thing for speed. :) It must have been a video like the one linked by @chakster that got me hooked. I had always assumed that it was plus & minus 33.3, until I saw otherwise. Please allow my indulgence. But all kidding aside, wi... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine In the past two weeks, I have spent a lot of time refining the thread drive and doing more re-search on the La Platine. There has certainly been much discussions here and other forums on the thread drive, motor, the magnetic platter..etc It occurs... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine The one area of the La Platine that I had assumed to be the weak link was the motor. There are numerous posts of using motors from Teres, TW Acustic, Galibier...etc as replacements. I had encountered noticeable pitch drift while listening to music... | |

| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace @lbelchev, Thanks for the information. From the literature, it's obvious that there is a fair bit of thought that went into the motor construction. I peaked into the motor housing recently, having had the turntable for almost twenty years. While ... |
