A Copernican View of the Turntable System


Once again this site rejects my long posting so I need to post it via this link to my 'Systems' page

Banquo, I have nothing to say about Copernicus, but did you ever get your SP10 squared away by Berdan or Thalmann? If not, and if it's still unreliable, IMO you should reconsider it.
Atmasphere,
Empire 208?
Hmmmmm...belt drive? I kinda figured you as an idler kind of guy?
Any comments on other drive systems?
Dear Henry, if you want this thread to soon get out of hand, the best way is to encourage the idler-, belt- and direct-drive "camps" to start a discussion about what is the "best" drive system for turntables .....
This is a minefield full of personal preferences and highly explosive "sensibilities".
Especially so, as each and every of the popular drive principles does have special requirements to the tt-design as a whole.
Better leave this alone .... it won't do any good to the Copernican view of the turntable.
Cheers,
D.
