Why three motors?

Thanks Dgad, interesting post. Are the motors with the BN the same as the AC 1/3? I thought from pics they looked shorter/smaller and if so might have less torque. What I am wondering is; if the AC 1 motor is stout enough the addition of more doesn't add much. Where as if the BN may have been designed to use 3 smaller motors and thus the test with one compromises the set up.

I also wonder what parts of the BN give the most improvement over the ACs. Very different materials are used for platter and plinth. I also wonder if a BN platter on an AC would be the value upgrade if it can be done.

Thanks, Terry

They are all the same motors just a different external casing. Power supplies are different between the tables.

Because it sounds better done right like my TW RAVEN AC3.

Do not try to find a reason: it is all written in this small excerpt about the three motor configuration taken from the review "TW-Acustic Raven AC – setting new trends.By Holger Barske, Editor in chief, LP magazine (Issue 6/06)"

Tom Woschnick simply grins when confronted with this objection: “I’ve tried everything – it simply sounds better like that.”

I gave up before even reading the above. I will just join the cult of voodoo science. Thanks for alerting me the review.
