A Copernican View of the Turntable System

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...

best @ fun only

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?

exorbitance @ degradation NO MORE

Dear Daniel,
At least we agree that the perfect turntable has not yet appeared.....or at least I have not heard it?
That gives some optimism for the future........your turntable? :^)
Yet it depresses me to think that for 30 years the world of analogue was diverted by the Linn LP12 and others like the SOTA which effectively rendered useless the wonderful state of the art that had been reached in the 70s and 80s with the big Micros and EMTs and the now re-discovered great DDs of the Japanese giants?
If audiophiles are happy with the failings of poorly understood sprung belt-
drives......is there really hope for the future?

Dear Nandric,
ok - need to write in a more harmless way. Geoch was not intended as a teasing, nor the small motors. I only had a picture of you sitting in front of your Kuzma - forgive me!

small motors are cheap, don`t have large dimensions, easy to build in and to exchange. That`s all! Believe me. Today`s TT manufactures don`t go for the high priced & very unique parts. Why should they? - the platter is running and customers do believe if they will place five (small) motors in beautifully designed boxes around their TT it will run 5 times smoother and pretty exact.

NO TEASING @ NO FUN
