Thoughtful and interesting post that should be a basis

for comment and commentary for those interested in differing methods of spinning a platter @ a prescribed rpm, with resultant audio analysis of the influences different engineering methods place on the reproduction of music.

Gee-sounds like anyone who would bother to even read this site would fall into that category.

I believe the point is that sticking a spinning drive wheel on any ol' platter that you may or may not come across, may or may not be the most sonically wonderful way of doing it-but almost certainly isn't the most highly engineered. I.E.-you may get lucky, but the chances seem slim. More i.e.-the Garrard, Lenco, EMT, et al engineering and design staffs might certainly have conjured up the simple stick-a-wheel-against-the-platter approach, but rejected that for sonic reasons. It certainly wasn't for cost-effectiveness, as the complicated mechanisms inherent to the finished designs show.

Just food for thought, and coming from someone whose 'reference'(sorry) rig is a VPI Aries, but also someone who is interested in all possibilities concerning the turntable.
