RE: new Brinkmann belt-drive motor, "Sinus"

Lew: "Dual was the first in the modern era to use a coreless motor in a DD turntable. Their coils were asymmetrically placed around the circumference, for reasons I do not fathom."

Actually, Dual was the one who used symmetrical arrangement of coils in their coreless motor, whereas the copycat, (Kenwood, Brinkmann, etc) motors use asymmetrical coils. Check pictures below.

Dual EDS-1000 motor, symmetrical coils:

early version of Kenwood L-07D motor, NOT symmetrical coils:

later version of Kenwood L-07D with star shaped coils in symmetrical arrangement:

----------------------------------


Sony PS-X9 with NOT symmetrical coils


----------------------------------

Brinkmann Bardo motor with NOT symmetrical coils:

------------------------------------------

Another look at the new belt-drive Brinkmann Sinus motor with symmetrical coils:



--------------------------------------------

Looks like majority of coreless motors since the Dual EDS-1000 have Asymmetrical coil arrangement.

Anyway, it's nice to see the direct drive genre getting some good reps!

I would love to see the innards of the new VPI Direct table.

The more I look at direct drive the more elegant it is mechanically.
