@artemus_5 how is wood movement managed? That is a beautiful table though
dust protection for turntables
Most higher-end turntables do not have built-in hinged covers. So what do people use to keep dust off their TTs when they’re not being played? Those large molded plastic covers that fit over and around the whole plinth? A silk scarf from Hermes? What's the most ingenious solution you're used or come across?

The problem with acrylic dust covers is that they easily become statically charged and then attract dust. You might say this is good as they pull dust up from the turntable but generally they just bring more dust into the area. Light cloth coverings can have nasty interactions with stylii... I have never had a big problem with dust. I have not used a cover since I sold my Linn in the mid 80s. I hold a carbonfibre brush against the revolving platter before I begin and against each LP side before playing. I don't see a lot of dust and hear very little noise. I rarely have to clean a record. |
Going from my memory, I believe the platter is a resin / epoxy with veneer covering, though not a thin veneer as normally sold in stores. There is also a sensor on the bottom of the platter which reads a strobe and sends to a micro processor which controls the speed. Also I suspect the wood is very stable by nature. Hard Wood is not as unstable as some think once it is dried and kept in a climate controlled environment. Also the Platter and plinth have lead in them for dampening. Then too, the motor is DC which is battery powered. It is well thought out and executed. |
