| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier I know a couple of guys who have used Papst motors from Empires to run VPI turntables, etc. Doing that would require a pulley and some scheme to make the outboard addition look attractive. Also, the footprint of the turntable on the rack would be ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Tonywinsc,In answer to your question, it's my opinion that it could be any of those things you mention. If I heard it, I might be able to tell, but it's impossible to say from here. It is too bad you don't have the luxury of trying several tables,... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Ct0517,I probably hear the same things that Richard hears, or more appropriately, I miss the same things that Richard misses. Mainly, dynamics suffer. Some dynamic information is missing, and micro dynamics are smeared. Subtleties in the high regi... | |
| Where can i find an Aurum Beta S replac. stylus? Find an Audio-Technica AT-95E stylus assembly, and adapt it. If you would like better, use an assembly from a Linn cartridge(K9 or K18?), or even better, an assembly from a Signet 5.0 cartridge. Some of the Signet assemblies exceed the performance... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lew,You you may be right. I spoke out of school because I lack the extensive firsthand experience that you have.Thuchan,You are right. Lawrence,I took no offense, but you haven't heard them all, and I'm here to say that an idler can be made that c... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richard is dead on with his post, in my opinion. Our ears are critical for good reason, so let's go back and take a look at the thread as its originator intended. It is about the three different drive categories, assuming the string isn't in one a... | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? 12-08-11: Jeremy72"Steve Dobbins is probably the best person in the US to tweak it and refresh the linkage and idler. "Not true. I'd try Chris at Artisan Fidelity, rumor has it they are currently working on a new 301 restoration which is going to ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Ct0517 and all,Yes, I am familiar with Verdier's work, and admire I it. I am puzzled that his bearing doesn't seem to be in keeping with his papers, but I suppose that is a topic for another thread, not that I would say anything critical about Ver... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Okay, let's go further. Do you think a special merry-go-round could be built for the little girl, so she could spin as many kids around as you can? This goes to torque, and how one might approach building a turntable with a low torque motor, yet h... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm From Dover's post, "The point I take from your Goldmund example is that you are suggesting that mass alone will not provide stability with a motor that simply doesn't have enough torque to start with."Let's think about this for a minute. Is the pl... | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? It seems that Artisan Fidelity is being unduly promoted here. It has been said that the promoter is an employee. Could be. By the way, the owner of Artisan Fidelity has been banned from another site I frequent for self-promotion. Like here, those ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm ...unlike my clunky grammar which required zero thought. :D | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dover, your post leaves me with a lot of questions, but I won't go there. However, there is a need to explore torque and inertia. They can be confusing terms. Explained in the very most simplistic way possible, torque is what you need to get the p... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I made an error in my last post. The Timeline is accurate to one part in two million. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm The timeline has a quartz clock. It is accurate, according to Ron Sutherland, of two parts per million. That's very good, and I have no reason to doubt him.I don't know the limits for other drive types, but it is theoretically possible for an idle... |
