| Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards? Tom,I send appropriate CAD drawings to the vendors. They build from those, and I accept or reject according to the outcome. This is all done in close contact with those involved, of course. The slate, for example, can be cut to an accuracy of .000... | |
| Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards? I should say the old-fashioned way. The word "then" typed itself into the post. ;) Anyway, various parts of the turntable are built in machine shops, a company does water jet work on the raw slate, another makes the basic part of the controller en... | |
| Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards? I make the then old-fashioned way, by hand. | |
| Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards? Hi,Thanks John, what you say is a concern that I have. Because my turntable is an idler without any top plate, it required a drive implementation that is different from those idlers of the past. Like anyone who makes something new, I would like fo... | |
| Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards? Hi,Thanks for your interest in my turntable. Saskia uses a new idler design based on traditional principles from various disciplines, some from audio, some not. Anyway, I admit that I have been somewhat apprehensive in disclosing details of its co... | |

| Vpi vs. TW Acustic Interesting thread. I'm not sure how much of it I find to agree with, but it is interesting in ways. Most of all, I find the opinions of the posters to be the most interesting part, not from a technical point of view, but a psychological one. Bant... | |
| Are more turntable motors better? Raul,I believe the test is whether the majority of listeners of a designer's product are genuinely moved by the passion of the music it produces. If they are, he has succeeded. If not, he has failed. At the end of the day, the number of motors, we... | |
| What power cable for playback design cd player I know one guy who was using Jena Labs with his Dartzeel, but he switched to Tel Wire, and is very pleased with the results. | |
| Are more turntable motors better? "One direct drive motor is better."It can be better than some other individual designs, depending on the implementation. Then again, it may present yet another set of problems. For example, if the direct drive motor uses a correction loop, an anal... | |
| Are more turntable motors better? A point not yet mentioned is that the typical belt drive solution suffers from inherent belt creep which causes loss of dynamics and accuracy. (The key word being "typical") Mark Kelly has outlined this at various places on the Internet. You will ... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? I build turntables that have four feet. Three would be nice because it would be easier to level, but some designs cannot accommodate that feature. Mine is one, and it is very stable. | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Lew,Yes, there are direct drives that do it, although it may be a happy accident for some. By centering mass in the platter, some direct drives avoid excessive noise from their motors. As a result, they also introduce a better way to handle inerti... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hey Doug,Call me Win. I'm trying to outlive the "mosin" moniker, but without much luck. ;)Anyway, Chris did give a great explanation, and there are various implementations of it. Even sheer mass at the platter can help when the bearing arrangement... |
