In Reply to: OK, I think I've decided to build a turntable. But which one? posted by artemus on December 15, 2005 at 18:44:47:
Just a thought......... I think I'd choose the drive system and go from there.... Your ability to do woodworking and access to the tooling set you way ahead of many of us (who do Diy stuff anyway).... so why not choose the technology first and then let your skills render something in keeping with that specific system ?So, then .... belt .. idler.. direct.. or hybrid.....
( hybrid would be something like a Thorens td124/3 that uses idlers and belt to rotate platter. )
And another issue is motor --- both AC and DC have a whole menu of variations and benefit / function / drawback issues ......
One last category of interest --before I make this too complex--- would be what do you want to use it for ? Is it a main table for all kinds of recordings, or do you have something more specialized in mind.. ? That could narrow it all down a little ......`
good luck regardless...
