RE: Interesting thoughts

In addition, your Verus motor has the advantage of simplicity & adaptability to a wide range of modern TTs that may surpass vintage idlers by virtue of modern platter bearings and superior resonance control associated with high-mass platters. Given the number of expensive models in current use, the compatibility of your motor with existing platforms is probably more of a contribution to the marketplace than would have been any "clean-sheet" design for a new TT.

If when used with a modern TT, your rim-drive approaches the speed-stability of a classic idler but is quieter due to the quieter motor in combination with a modern platter & platter bearing & plinth, then the Verus should help the average TT guy separate & understand the relative contributions of speed control and resonance control in his analog system. Unfortunately for some forum posters, a mixed bag of plinths, platters, and motors will make it more challenging to propagate sectarian views.

It's amusing that given the attention to detail that's necessary for vintage restoration & for any analog set-up, JD doesn't accept the small burden of siting a separate motor. With an unsuspended TT on a proper platform, there’s no reason why a rim drive motor should be unstable relative to the platter.
