A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Designing a good turntable needs a lot of brain, knowledge, understanding and precision. But this is no guarantee for commercial success. Here we meet the territory of the "I like it" Fangroup. Here the starting begins from a total different level, here is the master idea from the first Design...

I agree with Dertonarm's comment about putting Halcro's AC-3 on a Minus-K isolation platform. My SME 10 is not an AC-3, but I recently bought a Townshend Seismic Sink and placed it under my TT. My jaw did not drop to the floor, but the improvement was astonishing.

Daniel& Henry, It looks as if you are contradicting each other but 'springs' and a isolation platform may be not contradictory at all. To prevent people to buy wrong
footers (as I already deed) you should be more explicit.
I like to know what kind of support is adequate for an DDTT?

Hi Nandric,

There is one solution that works pretty well for DD TTs that came out of the wilds of Maine and from the mind of Andy...floating on air. However, it seems to better loved in Texas than it was on the rainy Northwest coast here in the US...something to do about the elimination of cartridge bottlenecks downstream.

As for those above-mentioned wonderful 1982 solutions...the minus-Ks will be coming along by mid-November to be here in time for the arrival of the Dietrich-Bavarian fully modified big Micro SX-8000 and RX-3000 turntables; of course, I will be patiently waiting for the new Bavarian tonearm to share time with the FR-66s early next year.

Not to bad Unoear. I am curious to hear about your experiences. I am in contact with Minus-K for a long time but we failed coming together because of the weight problem - 250 pds. It seems they now have solved the issue. Let's see.
