| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Ok I got rid of the copper mat and it’s a million times better. Less thick. Less concocted. More delicate detail and texture. Thanks @dover ! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine it is very true @dover that little things can make an enormous difference. and lets face it, one can do better than the crucible/tape deal. i hate you to think i haven't been optimising. i have just done a suite of things including cable manage... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong what is a distinguishing characteristic of old spindle versus new that will enable identification? re: new cobbled together AC motor. the fuse in the speed controller unit was burnt out. i replaced this and tried linen loop on basis Th... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i am in contact with Galibier and hope to order a motor from them. of course u don't just get a motor. u also get a new belt system. i have tried mylar tape here last week. i can't make a loop neatly enough. Wow and Flutter goes to hell. But... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers just installed shunyata DF-SS on speaker cables. i bought 9 of these things for some reason. had been regretting it. i had previously got 3 of them included when i bought an Omega XC cable. otherwise i don't think i would ever have tried them.... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover do u reckon the SOTA motor and speed control unit would be worth having a crack at? third price of galibier and ac sort of floats my boat. @ledoux1238 nice to have the OP back in the thread. in some ways i am beginning to idolise the ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine it is hard to imagine it being better. the numbers are very good (W&F), the speed stability is excellent, i turn it on and it is at speed (like 0.01% out when it is cold, quickly warms up though). i am going to enjoy where i am at for a mome... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine AC motor is a fantastic upgrade. highly recommended. this is now fantasy hi-fi. listened to "tattoo you" by the rolling stones last night. favourite record from when i was a kid. haven't heard it in years. shocking! so much energy and life.... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lewm - i reckon u could be right. although it seems the AC motor issue is a low frequency thrum versus the DC motor which was more like bearing chatter and more high pitched. the wellfloat is dealing with it nicely. y'day i realised i was miss... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 didn't this thread kick off with you saying how good the original motor is and now here we both are posting images of new motors! | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine aha! so i used a crucible (40 bucks on ebay) which was right height. i filled this with coins for mass. i used a small tray to afix motor to. motor is a 250 rpm AC synchronous job. i taped this mounting plate to top of crucible as can be seen... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine OK for new motor: - definitely this is an improvement over the DC motor (which to be fair was quite old) - it keeps speed much better - mainly during music i don't feel i am hearing any quavering. it is almost cd like in its speed stability (an... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine posting photos on here is not so easy i think. anyway i did manage to get my motor going today as the large pulley arrived. it works great! i will listen more tonight late when the power is quiet but my impression is very good. it seems to ... |
