| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Raul, Stylus drag does affect platter speed. I am sure the the effect is small enough that it would be extremely difficult to measure. There is plenty of evidence that suggests that it is audible, but nothing that I would consider proof. A scienti... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. There is no question that stylus drag does cause speed variations. The only question is if the variations are large enough to be audible. Our ears are remarkably sensitive to extraordinarily small errors in the time domain. With digital audio it h... | |
| Teres 260 or Galibier Serac? A tacky surface on belts has been tried but it ends up being quite noisy. The belts sticks to the platter and then releases making the belt vibrate. While belt slippage does seem to be an issue it seems that compliance (stretching) is much more im... | |
| Teres 260 or Galibier Serac? Nick,We have not shipped any of the new platters yet. If all goes well the first shipments will be next week. The response from those that have heard the new platter have been quite positive. A major upgrade over our acrylic/lead platters. | |
| Teres 260 or Galibier Serac? The Verus motor allows for speed adjustment in 0.16% steps. This means that the worst case speed error will be 0.08% and the average will be 0.04%. The good news is that this figure will not change or drift over time.The speed accuracy of the Veru... | |
| Grand Prix Audio Monaco Turntable "those speed accuracy figures they publish are probably not measured at the platter level."On a direct drive where else could the measurement be taken? Besides measurements would be pretty meaningless anyway. Yes the Japanese DD tables from the 80... | |
| What is the ideal weight/mass for a turntable? "Also why not build a plinth from carbon-fibre....is this too difficult or expensive?"We have done some experimenting with carbon fiber and it sounds very good. The texture and detail that we hear with dense hardwoods, but lacking some of the warm... | |
| What is the ideal weight/mass for a turntable? For starters I think the "resonance diode" concept is far fetched. I cannot envision any theoretical basis for such a device, and simple cones do not behave as a "diode".The principles behind resonance energy transfer are well understood and quite... | |
| What is the ideal weight/mass for a turntable? I think the the issue of turntable mass is largely misunderstood. The more important issues are rigidity, damping and rotation stability. Mass has little if any direct impact on these key issues.Rigidity is very important and it often requires a l... | |
| Teres Audio Verus Direct Couples Motor, Anyone? The Verus controller adjustment is in 0.16% steps. This means that the worst case speed error will be 0.08%. On average the error will end up being about 0.04%. Doug had a very early controller that used adjustment steps that were much larger. All... | |
| New VPI "how much adjustments one had to do as every LP was played"What adjustments? | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Bolson, It would be fairly simple to to a A/B comparison by simply placing a Verus motor so that it drives the outside of the platter.A comparison has been done with a Garrard 301 and the results are reportedly quite favorable. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Johnnantais,I don't wish to start a debate but I must say that I am a bit surprised by your comments. We certainly have a lot of common ground and I applaud the work that has been done here to bring great sound to the masses.I have done a great de... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Johnnantais,A few corrections. While we no longer produce belt drive motors I do still think that they have a place in the industry. But that place is not at the top.Induction motors are indeed brushless but they are not coggless. Any single phase... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Dopogue, thanks for heads up on the vertical extrusions. Back to the drawing board...Jlln, I do not expect that flat spotting will be an issue. The o-rings we use are fairly hard and also very durable. Much more durable than materials that were av... |
