| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine ok rec'd thread today. this is linen thread with light waxing so a good match for Verdier's recommendation i believe. instantly the speed was perfect for both 33 and 45. as in i could dial in the speed and be around half way in range. that fel... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i agree, alot of Safir plus La Platine action. i asked one user what cart he recommended with the Safir and he said the Aidas Mammoth. unfortunately that cart costs more than i paid for the la platine! i have defeated suspension again. it s... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine when fremer reviewed the safir i recall he used a variety of carts that wouldn't traditionally work with something of such high eff. mass. i can't say i see any issues in use. i agree it seems likely that another cart might do even better. i ha... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine well i finally have the safir playing on the la platine and of course i am now: - floating in mid air with no ball bearing contact - lubed up with Rocol X5 - transrotor skinny belt - copper "mat" I have an ART9 mounted and am using a very aff... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine what table are you besotted with ledoux? i am now using a transrotor large belt and i have the rocol x5 ultraglide in place. with the belt and without the rocol i was too fast! now i am right on the money. wow and flutter gets worse less ti... | |
| 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... |
