New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option

Tim,

The o-ring Chris supplies is from McMaster Carr, part number 9557K228.

How about a group power buy?! ;-)

Well, this is not the end of belt driven turntables, but this is certainly the end of the dogma that belt drive is (far) superior to direct drive. I think the proponents of belt driven turntables will disagree with this: they will miss the sight of the big external motor with the rotating belt (wonderful nostalgia, heheh). The Goldmund Reference I tt was a direct drive design. The same with the Rockport Sirius (if I'm right).

Hi

The original Goldmund Ref and Rockport Sirius I & II were belt drive.

The Sirius III is DD along with Goldmunds Studio turtables.

The Verus is external and not direct drive ...

Well, it looks like Harry has jumped on the rim-drive wagon. He seems to be offering the option and down-playing it at the same time. :-O
