They way they were propelled wasn't there only difference. You can't isolate only 1 variable.

Unfortunately not. Never mind someone will do a PhD thesis on it one day.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 2:55 pm It's impossible to know.

Re: Rega upgrades
I wonder if it’s anything to do with torque.Geoff.R.G wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 9:02 pmUnfortunately not. Never mind someone will do a PhD thesis on it one day.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 2:55 pm It's impossible to know.

Direct drive is way more torquey than delivery through a narrow silicon/rubber band.
I’m guessing that’s why people often claim improvements by moving to a dual belt system.
Just a thought....

Re: Rega upgrades
Possibly, but an idler drive also has limits on torque. What is different is that a drive belt is under tension and thus relatively easily excited and may this allow that energy back to the stylus. Even though this energy may well be at a frequency below, or above, the range of human hearing it still gets amplified and all that goes with that. An idler is under compression and, obviously, a direct drive has neither.TheMarlin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 10:31 amI wonder if it’s anything to do with torque.Geoff.R.G wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 9:02 pmUnfortunately not.
