verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace

Doug,
Thanks for the Teres 320/Verdier comparison. I have always wondered about the relative value of the two decks. It does seem that a Verdier is not a great value compared to a Teres 320. Oh well!
In the end, I believe the mag platter/bearing is a smart solution, short of a pressurized/expensive system like the Rockport, Walker, or Verdier's Magnum. It is clearly maintanence free with no valve or tubing to worrying about. And that is why I like it, not to mention that it can really make beautiful music.

Charlie,
I will keep your upgarde suggestions in mind. Thanks.

And a Happy holiday to you all!

You can do the Platine Verdier motor DC conversion yourself. It costs less than $200 and easy to do yourself. I can provide the circuit on how to do it.

These days you might not want to convert to DC. You might instead want to add an AC motor controller a la Phoenix Engineering, now SOTA Eclipse. In 2007, similar products were not available.

If you PM me, I will send you the circuit information. 
Just looking at this thread. 
A lot of misinformation re: Platine setup - anyways very typical.
