Prana Distribution

Well I didn't smell any dirty laundering. Where did you get that from?

I merely asked if anyone had past experience with Prana. Perfectly reasonable.

Dear Idler, You did write,

@idler-21st 

You moniker is misleading.

Your turntable is not an idler drive.

An idler turntable is when you have an idler wheel between the motor pulley and platter ( hence the name "idler" ).

According to your diagram on your website the Sempersonus drives the platter directly off the motor, the urethane wheel is the pulley.  This a rim drive turntable, albeit the inside rim of the platter.

Where is the idler wheel?

Edit: Just noticed that Dover posed the same question earlier.

Yes, not an idler wheel in sight ! But there’s no misleading blurb in the website:

motion is supplied by a BLDC motor, epicyclically driving the aluminum platter through an urethane drive wheel

SPECIFICATIONS

• Epicyclic drive

What I set out to do was to imagine what an idler could be like today, freed from the limitations of 60 years ago.

And today you don’t really need an idler. Now you can get a motor to run at 150rpm, smoothly, silently, cheaply enough and you can switch speeds electronically.

In the 60’s you couldn’t have that (at least in a consumer product), hence the need for an idler wheel and the added mechanical complexity.
