| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Dear Lewm,got you! 😀 there are many products with three motors which is just a waste of energy, time & money. When I went to Burmester in Berlin I had the chance to look deeper into their new 4 motor concept. Brilliantly implemented!E. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive ...not mios but thousands. Sorry.E. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Dear Mijostin,Clearaudio make some very good cartridges. Just take the Goldfinger II. They are famous for that, much more than their tables and arms. So I do agree with you on that. But not on your old/new comparison. Â I do have new stuff, no prob... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Dear Lewm, from your description it looks to me you have never experimented with two motors and a serious belt (tape). Forget three motors! Four motors is an option if you put it in a design like Burmester does. Having implemented a serious 2nd mo... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Axelberger,you need to have a look at real good belt designs, not a platter transported by just one small motor as the most are. You need to have two big motors to the left and right steered by a control unit where you may change the pitch slightl... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Mijostyn,Do not agree on your vintage design comparison. EMT R80 and Denon M100 outperforms most of the other modern gear. You need to keep them in a very stable and well serviced condition. E. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Miyostin,you are right comparing air bearing and magnetic designs.nevertheless what counts are bearing hardness, batch braking moment and energy transmission by the bearing.E. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Regarding air bearings I am wondering that many friends around here mix air floating devices with a real air bearing design. Even Mike Fremer mentions air bearings with an air floating deck.To my knowledge only two designs (in the world) are runni... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Lewm,you are always welcome. Nandric has some difficulties taking his feet over the Dutch border 😂in four weeks I will be confronted with a new highlight in Phono.will report later.bestE. (Without D but T) | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive agree Lewm!i should send you a compressor, no? 🤣bestE. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive lewm,i love complexity! It needs to be handled and somehow in price not overloaded. Without complexity in the turntable/tonearm/headshell/cart/SUT/phonopre issues what would we do in our hobby?Also a compressor is something you can handle easily t... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Mijostyn,i guess you never heard an air bearing table, of which only two brands exist today. You do not have any noise from the compressor as it stays in a different room. Do you know about the advantage of air bearings towards other bearings? Of ... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Mikelavigne,these are all airfloating designs but not using a real airbearing.For a real airbearing you need a powerful compressor, it is 1m x 1m like the DUERR Technik. You need to put it into a separate room.but these designs are very nice too!b... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Mikelavigne,just look under „Air Bearing“maybe you see one the first time 😀bestE | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Mikelavigne,the TechDas tables do have an air cushion feature and air dampened feet. They do not have a real air bearing! You may look it up at my Caeles II report on AudioCirc.bestE. |
