| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine get a granito / vintage heritage la platine and tell us the difference with your classic la platine. there is one on sale on audio-markt! it looks brilliant. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine just to add, going from thread on la platine to belt, and going from more bearing to no bearing, one can cover a whole spectrum of sound right there. the loose thread with magnetic levitation only can sound delicate, ethereal and more biased to h... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine yes with the Audio Note turntables we have the reference, the half reference and then the tt3 (and then others with less motors below that). as i understand it the ref and half ref are licensed from voyd whilst the tt3 is AN's own creation (albei... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 one day i will get to the mats. right now i have a SDP acrylic top on the platter that adds about 2 inches. so that's my mat. i don't want to brag but i do have alot of mats (spec, vertere, copper) so one day i will give it a go. m... | |
| What type of oil for a Platine Verdier as far as i can tell the idea is that the rocol does a specific job. i have a very good but thin synthetic lube in it now and i have trouble getting the right speed (too fast). the rocol will slow it down and this also will help dampen chatter/n... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 i must admit i have trouble working out how armco telar 57 lines up with Y30/Y35. i will say though that Y30 even in the size is used (which is smaller than what could fit in collar) has enough magnetic force to do the job even with m... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine the platter is attached to a steel collar below and it is that to which the magnet affixes. the callas mod was all about being able to fine tune location of bearing (vertically). with the granito i have that adjustment via a bolt beneath the ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine hi @ledoux1238 yeah it was a big deal for me. i replaced both. it just got so easy when i find them online and the post was so quick. i imagined glue and all sorts of things. not the case. the magnets that came in the "collars" had an oute... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover thankyou - yes i do feel / hear that difference i think. i have been fettling to wit: i've got the motor off these soft absorption pads i had it on. now flat on credenza top. also i put the la platine on cms footers (i.e. defeated the f... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i got some new magnets for the la platine. i thought it would be a tough ask. it was not. a company had in stock 180 mm dia 20 mm thick Y30 magnets (ferrite) with 100 mm dia internal "hole". this made them about 5% smaller kin area than the st... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I am having some great results with the la platine. i think it sounds pretty great. it is a very transparent platform i think. where i am at is as follows: - tiny thread being used. i think this is cotton but not sure. motor as close as i ca... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine sorry to post again but also i have ordered some precision ceramic 10 mm bearing balls so soon will get to see what that sounds like. will make a difference as i think my la platine sits relatively heavy. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover i am starting to wonder if the la platine doesn't lose alot of its "musicality" with a more driving motor. i haven't attached a garrard 401 motor to it (yet) but with the tt3 belt (tight coupling compared to thread) i heard a propulsive so... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 thanks for your words. i have had some advice from a very experienced la platine user on WBF (@mtemur) and so things may change. also i am currently ill and this affects my hearing. it is just cold so a day or 2 and it will be fine... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i recently acquired a Granito La Platine coming from a highly optimised Garrard 401. i have a few thoughts: - La Platine has alot to offer. absolutely grainless. absolute resolution. alot more music frankly - defeating suspension makes for an... |
