CSPort Turntable speed control

Dear @mijostyn : SME 60 and its new tonearm is unique, this is not more of the same and a gift by SME for who can afford.

I’m not saying that Dohmann is not good enough. Dohmann took an after market platfform and made some modifications on it for its TT. That makes me to believe is not in anyway superior to the 60 but for some time you are in love with Dohmann: good.

I was not aware of that anecdot between Fletcher and SME.

I owned Fletcher " The Arm " that was a copy of the Switzerland Breuer design and if I remember manufactured by Jelco. Other " curiosity " on Fletcher was the original Sota Mat where the blend materials were not invented by Fletcher but came from a third part that never shares with David the formula of that mat. The today Sota Mat looks like the original ( I owned 2 of them and were just fabolous. ) but it does not performs because the blend materials are different. No, I’m not trying to diminish the Flecher high reputation.

If some one wants to read the Fremer review you posted here it’s:

Btw, that " sligth blowing " with phono with ears really close is something weird in your system . My phonolinepream Essential 3180 does not shows that " blowing " not only with my 95db speaker sensitivity but does not do it in Guillermo ( close frend. ) room system that by coincidence owns the top model of your electrostatics and the JC-1 but till today my 3180 only is at my place. Lewm owns the 3160 as other gentlemans and other the 3150 that was the design with what we started.

The 3180 is a true up-grade over the 3160 and in other thread I posted that we will manufacture a few 3180 that I think is a must to listen due that you are a way demanding MUSIC lover/expert audiophile.

Dear @sksos  : What did CS port did it it does not matters because the fact is that " terrible " spedd deviation.

About TT servos you already read it what I posted in the other chauncey thread and I know due that you posted there too. Well down there I posted:

""  and we have to remember that all the cutting machines in the recording proccess comes with DD motors and all those motors control its speed by servo. That means that if we can't be aware of the recording used servo then it's no trouble at all."

Lewm owns the SP10MK3 with servo control for speed and this MK3 in several ocasions was used ( the motor ) by cutthing lathe machines. You can ask lewm if he can detect something about servo and he owns a high resolution room/system.

No one can do it. TT colorations always exist, certainly not by the servo but again at the end what counts are the facts and CS Port ( with out dimishing the designer. ) been short in that overall speed issue.

@rauliruegas , Mark Dohmann enlisted MinusK to help design the suspension under his turntable because he realized that it offered benefits that no other type of suspension could. You have to look into what a negative stiffness suspension does. The majority of them are not used under turntables, they are used under scanning electron microscopes and other sensitive lab equipment. The suspension in all SMEs, Avids, Sotas and Basis turntables do not offer any significant benefit over David Fletchers original design. They all hang the platform from springs and add various forms of damping. The MinusK does not work this way and I am not good at explaining it so I encourage you to go to the MinusK web site and read up on it. One major claim to fame SEM has is a construction quality second to none. The one thing they have to do is stop making everyone's decisions for them. I would like to be able to mount my own arm thank you.
