In Reply to: Magnetic levitation for turntables posted by radiodaddy on September 11, 2006 at 10:40:46:
I just love all the negative responses which have been posted.My only wonder is how many of the people who responded negatively have actual experience of a mag/lev product?
Hands-up everybody who responded negatively who has had hands-on experience with a mag-lev product.
I use a SAP Relaxa 3+ under my turntable and experience no negative effects whatsoever.The platform made a beneficial change and will remain in place.
Not cheap,but I've tried air bladders,and basically they work but they piss me off with the difficulty of maintaining stable level.
Yeah I know it can be done,but I'm also done with air bladders.Been there,done that.
How many naysayers on this thread can say the same about Mag-lev?
The SAP has a max load carrying capacity of 25 Kg or so.
I'd like more info from the gent who has developed his own version.
Follow Ups:
made in the 1970's, used opposing magnets to float the platterI own a belt drive magnefloat, works fine, no negative comment here
Picture is the Direct drive TN 400 from circa 1976
I've never seen one of those, but I'd love to score one.
... no, I haven't played with it first hand, the principle of magnetic levitation is unsound enough in theory (to me) that it is not worth the investment.What appears unsound? A huge magnetic field directly underneathe an extremely low level pick up device.
If your WXYZ magentic platform "works for you", great.
But no thank you for me.
I ptobably like my eggs different than you, too ...
and your definition of negative is???
