Sorry afraid I cannot agree with this one. There is far more to a turntable drive unit than spinning a record at 33.3. If that is all that needs to be done then that is easily achieved, especially with any closed loop correction circuit. Even the "primitive" AR XA could do this with just referencing line voltage and precisely machined motor pulley and platter dimensions. Achieving 33.3 is not hard.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 9:01 am Linn table first is in my opinion ,absurd.
A table only as to spin the disk at 33.3 . There are many ways of doing this all equally as good which is why Linn were lying.
Imagine the marketing men 'what you want us to convince people springs in comprehension and a rubber band is better than any other propulsion method, I see'
Yet a turntable is a sum of its resonances, or lack there of. Achieving the lowest noise floor from bearing, motor, tone arm, and outside influences is the goal. The devil is in the details.
The idea that all a turntable has to do is spin a record at the correct speed is an oversimplification in my opinion. Kind of like saying all a car needs to do is roll from point A to point B without breaking.
But let us get back to Fretless enjoying his old friend, and the enjoyment of spinning records.
