| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I am using a Micro CU 180 on the Verdier, obviously no issues at all. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Would you list the brands of the motor / controller? I would be interested. Thanks! BTW, I saw your ad for the SP10R. I especially like the acoustand derilium plinth. It is beautiful! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @richardkrebs Thanks, Ricahrd for your insight, torque spec. ..etc. My exploits will most definitely not scale the heights of K3 territory. But from your description of the motor / controller search, it was truly a project from the gound up. @... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I preface by saying I am really quite lost AC vs DC. However, in the case of SOTA Eclipse the Condor motor control is driving a 3 phase DC motor ( ? ). And the Longdog audio LDA is designed to drive an AC motor (? ). According to Nick, t... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @pindac Thank you for the words of encouragement from the last post. Well, after some back and forth, Nick Gorman has agreed to adapt the LDA to a new motor, if I can source one. @dover is there a AC motor that you could readily recommend? Or wo... | |
| Top linear trackers @thekong Thanks for that explanation. So pressure levels can reach 120psi! At that level, it would make sense that all accessaries are purposefully built with fail safe mechanisms. @mikelavigne +1 on the CS Port arm. You were one of the very ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover Thank you for the primer of AC motor. Going down this route in search of an upgraded motor would really require quite a bit of research, certainly not a plug and play option. Just a quick search on ebay on ac motors turned up various vintag... | |
| Top linear trackers @thekong I am guilty of having no experience with high pressure LT arms. Hence I make assumptions based on my DIY experiences with the Terminator. One assumption is that air filtration is a very important part of an air bearing arm. And with the T... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover What is the advantage of a AC motor? @pindac Thanks for the LDA reference. But I am afraid I have no idea if this controller can be adopted to a Verdier motor? How is it done with the Garrards' and Lencos'? Very intriguing! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Can you describe your set up, what kind of thread / belt? if thread, are you using the original? how tightly / loosely are you applying it to the platter? what is the distance between center of platter to motor spindle? The reason f... | |
| Top linear trackers @vinylzone The ET arm can be made to order with an Alita 15 compressor according to its website. This is the compressor I am using for the Terminator. But I had thought that the ET is a high pressure arm, and the Alita operates in the 3-5 psi rang... | |
| Top linear trackers @dover I am a big fan of Bruce Thigpen. I own a pair of LFT 8bs’. The initial idea for purchasing the Terminator was to use it as a linear tracking starter kit with the intention of upgrading to the ET-2.5s’. Well I haven’t gotten to the upgrade j... | |
| Top linear trackers @solypsa I am using a ZYX Ultimate Omega ( medium compliance, 12 ) and Audio Tekne MC-6310 ( med / high compliance, 20 ). These work very well with the Terminator. My own experience has been limited to various medium / high compliance cartridges... | |
| Top linear trackers This will not even register in your search radar, but as someone has mentioned the Trans-Fi Terminator should be on your list. Look at the manifold, an inverted ‘v’ as opposed to a circular tube in most other cases. It is an inherently more stab... |
