Eddy Driessen is one of the ''Dutch grandmastrs'' known by
his ''Pluto'' TT's and tonearms. I am not the right person to
comment on TT's designs but his ''form follows function''
TT's looks to me to satisfy most conditions mentioned in this thread.
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
This would appear to show that the Herzan is effectively modifying the music signal playback due to the vibrations of the stylus by imparting a corrective response that has taken into account stylus vibration generated into the platter/TT. Not so.... The added vibrations with music playing is purely Airborne Sound Transmission. HERE is a readout with the Isolation ’OFF’ a record playing but the sound MUTE. And HERE is a readout with the Isolation ’ON’ a record playing and the sound MUTE. |
Interesting thoughts Dover.... Watch this VIDEO on the Doehmann Helix 1 turntable when Mark Doehmann (who was head designer at Continuum for the Caliburn and Criterion turntables and also the Cobra and Copperhead tonearms) comes in to explain it (past the halfway mark). Apart from the other interesting design attributes.....the aluminium that you think is the platter.....is actually a 'shield' against Air-Borne Sound Transmission and the platter sits behind it....🤗 Mark knows his 'onions'...... |
