i wonder....

...how my Rockport Sirius III works in this area?
reading about your approach on this issue makes me wonder how it compares. i remember spending time in your room at RMAF and how much i enjoyed the Certus.
my understanding is that the Rockport uses an 'eddy current' motor with direct drive with an air bearing, 55 pound platter, and a servo which samples the speed 10,000,000 times a second which is 'said' to eliminate groove modulation.
it is at speed within three revolutions and stops completely within 1/2 revolution.
my ears tell me that is that it has a solidity and tonal correctness not otherwise heard.
