Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
alexberger,unfortunately I have no experience with EMT DD drives.the Airforce tables are well designed, they do not have an airbearing concept like Caeles or the Apolyt.bestE. 
Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
I am using an original Micro Seiki gunmetal mat on my DD Brinkmann. Nevertheless I prefer the TTW carbon fiber mat on my DD Denon, quite an heavy item.best 
Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
Dear Halcro,I still love my belt driven tables. As I am „walking“ from one to the other I recently found out that the two mentioned favorites attract me most. Nevertheless the AS equipped Brinkmann Anniversary  and the Victor are very close to the...

Sdrsdrsdr,I am using the Ortofon 309, also with a heavy weight for taking up the Neumanns. And the SME 3012 (I), first version. 
Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
Dover,I am using the original Active Dynamic Servo Tracer with two interchangeable wands,  medium weight in S-shape and low weight in straight shape. It is a kind of Sony Biotracer Arm but really good!I also use the SME 3012R and the ToXiom.

Which vintage direct drive?
Edgewear, just an idea. I am selling my Denon on Audiogon. I liked it very much. I also have the Victor 100 in a very special base. Maybe I should sell this one, although Halcro will protest. 
Micro RX 5000 Renaissance?
Micro-Seiki tables were the best belt drives of their time. You may use different motors and upgrade if you know how to do. Raul has never learned how to do it with this table. Not that he is completely wrong on the table ´s musicality but he igno...

Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
I still hear that there might be not a profound understanding of the idler technology. Some describe it as the rattling of the London Underground trains. I really recommend these audiophiles listening to a well serviced EMT 927 /R 80. They will ch...

Dear Halcro,The Palladian was and still is the best LIVE Mc cart I do know, the Century is even more open, surrounding the listener. I do not know how they do it. I did describe it on AudioCirc, also the differences. There is still one Century to ...
