| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray , if you are talking about Galibier‘s motor drive, I believe they use DC motor! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine https://galibierdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/splicing_tutorial_stephen_r.pdf @mr_gray , I use this method . | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine https://hicoballoons.com/product/blue-mylar-ribbon/ I have been making TT belts out of this kind of Mylar ribbon for years, but I have yet to try it on the Verdier. As the pulley on my other table was relatively short, I couldn’t use the 0.75” ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine If I am not mistaken, I believe the most preferred belt / string of mtemur for the Verdier is the knotless cotton string from the Kondo Ginga turntable! Of course, that is probably hard to source! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , yes, paper / resin composite is an interesting option. The Immedia RPM2 TT’s platter also has a layer of what they called phenolic—paper. @dover , I agree with you, micro movement of the arm pot is certainly a real concern! Un... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , also thank you for the suggestion on Azzolina ! They didn’t list the Verdier plinth on the website anymore, but I may just send them an enquiry! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , the following directly from Basis’ website. I was also wondering about that, but then I saw photos of the arm pot and motor pod being placed in different positions, and the plinth doesn’t have a single screw holes! >When A.J. was b... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238, when it comes to replinthing TTs, I think the Verdier is probably one of the easiest to do. If the original suspension is not needed, then just a plain slab of material with a few holes drilled! On the Whatsbestforum I have seen a m... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , I am also thinking of an extended plinth, much like the Basis Transcendence ! Yes, motor placement would be an issue, maybe a cutout at the side of the plinth for the motor pod, much like some VPI TTs. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @dover , I agree, as the Verdier has such a high CG, a massive plinth is likely to be beneficial, that’s also why I considered brass/aluminium/granite. I am assuming the high density bamboo ply is relatively light, so a slab of heavier material... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @dover , one more question, is your TT the Final Audio Research VVT-1 with the outboard motor? I have a friend using this TT and has an extra motor, so I may borrow it to try on the Verdier | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @dover , thank you for the suggestion, really appreciated ! The materials you mentioned, especially the high density bamboo ply, are interesting, and I will certainly look into it! TT plinth material is a very interesting topic! Just for... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @lewm, yes, in theory that’s right! However, if the motor unit is transmitting vibration to the plinth/platter, then we have to pick the lesser evil ! That’s why I used the word “may” . Users just have to try it to see which one they prefer! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @ledoux1238, yes I was using the Safir with the La Platine on an optical pneumatic table, but I have since moved the Safir to another TT. The Safir matches well with the EMT VM as well as the Dynavector XV 1S. My latest arms on the La Platine... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine When placing a La Platine with hard footer on a pneumatic platform, I would certainly place both the main unit and the motor on the same platform, and may put a thin layer of Isodamp sheet, or Isodamp footer, under the motor for some further dampi... |
