A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Deartonearm,

... Amen.

Dear Daniel, My I deduce from your arguments that those
small AC motors in the LP-12, Thorens, etc., are meant to
keep the platter moving as soon as the right spead is reached? I have two of those motors in my Kuzma Stabi Reference but I always push the platter (8 kgr) to help
the motors to reach the right spead. Not perfect I assume
but to me it make sense. Or should I limit my comments to logic and philosophy?

Regards,

No No Nandric, you are on the right track. Geoch would love it too I assume. He understands a lot about cultural implications and you two might have crossed ways with a better outcome I am pretty sure.

small or not precise motors will not do a good job for our turntables.
I have seen improvements on older Raven motors when exchanged with Pabst drives. In the meantime they have improved. But this is only an example.

I hope you are not sitting in front of your table moving the platter during playback every two minutes... or did I understood something wrong...

Dear Thuchan, This is threefold teasing by which you surpassed your previous self: with the small motors, with Geoch and with my manual labour on my Kuzma platter.
But there must be some reason why so many designers used
those small motors. I thought that I have the force of the numbers on my side. However Daniel is always helping me so who knows?

Regards,

Relax. When I'm trying to clean the LP with the Clearaudio carbon brush and the 24kgr platter stops !?!... I'm not complaining. I've accept the fact of this lousy TT long before my appearance here. Regrets ? You see this "old friend" priced for 28000 euro and the laughs by some cold souls of the "each his own" state of mind make my day allways. Now, how about to help others not to do the same mistake? I suppose everyone has the right to buy whatever he feels it's good for his ego. So, "each his own". That's Broadway!
BTW Τorque by Inertia? Why not use some air to maintain the platter's speed? The slippage is better controlled. Or should I limit my comments to wrong invest decisions?
