Considering selling my restored Garrard 301

Larry, I am pretty sure the LDA is a power regenerator that puts out variable voltage at 50Hz, referenced to a quartz oscillator to keep the frequency perfectly stable. The platter speed of the induction type motor can then be controlled by varying the voltage output. It therefore would run off our 120V/60Hz mains, just like any other amplifier, which is what it essentially is, an amplifier that makes only one frequency. This has been done before, although I do not know if others were referenced to a quartz crystal oscillator.  So it doesn't just "clean up" the power, although I am sure it does do that in passing.

I read that if using the LDA unit, you must use the 240volt motor connetion and remove the eddy brake disk.

Perhaps but that doesn’t mean it work off our 120V/60Hz AC mains. Stands to reaso it would generate 240V/50Hz as the purists say that is best for the motor.

I have also heard the LDA connected to a Belt Drive TT with a non A synchronous Motor, where the improvement was notable for the betterment.

Some LDA owners also reported it was quite impressive when attached to a CD Player.

Pindac, I think you live in the UK, where 240V/50Hz is the standard mains voltage and frequency. So it makes sense that a CDP could work off the LDA, if the current demand does not exceed its capability.  But one probably could not use the LDA to power a CDP in the US, where we are on 120V/60Hz (and therefore the CDP sold in the US would be built to run on 60Hz).  That is assuming the LDA has a fixed output frequency of 50Hz.

In my post of 12-06 at 9:35AM, I meant to write, "Perhaps but that doesn’t mean it WON'T work off our 120V/60Hz AC mains."  I left out the key word, "won't".  That happens when I type on my cell phone.
