Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in my turntable. Saskia uses a new idler design based on traditional principles from various disciplines, some from audio, some not. Anyway, I admit that I have been somewhat apprehensive in disclosing details of its construction because it is a new design, and I would like to protect my ideas. Rest assured, though, it is a design that takes into account the various parameters that make for a decent turntable...at least as best I can manage.

There's one sure way to find out...at a price.

I am in the process of considering a new turntable and tonearm and this is one of the turntables that caught my eye. However, it does not appear to utilize a 12 inch tonearm and I am most interested in the DaVinci Grand Reference Grandezza arm.

I don't think anybody is going to reverse engineer your TT from pictures. If it's as nice as you say, it will help sales. I would never considering buying something sight unseen (even if I did hear it). It seems very strange to hide what's under the hood.

Ketchup-Think about what you've said: " I would never considering buying something sight unseen (even if I did hear it)".

Now, presumably, if you'd "never consider buying something sight unseen", you'd be in a position to see "what's under the hood" of this tt by simpley lifting the platter. And I'm curious how you'd be able to "hear it", without actually seeing it.

Since the vast majority of new TTs are belt drive, there's little to see 'under the hood'. And even when there *is* (say, the guts of a speed control), I don't know of any manufacturers who give us a 'look' at the circuit diagrams, or even a photo of the PCBs, in their advertising.

As for your contention that "I don't think anybody is going to reverse engineer your TT from pictures"-that's almost laughably naive.
