No belt, just a motor with an idler wheel driving the outside of the platter. The pic linked in the post above is John's old VPI.

Hi Clive,

Visually, that's by far the best combination I've seen the Terminator used in. To my eyes, that definitely works on an aesthetic level much more than when fitted on a Garrard, and I'm sure it also delivers the goods, sonically! :)

It does look great and it has a surprisingly small footprint too. Apart from it sounding fantastic and I don't want to say too much yet - what's interesting is the comparison with my 301. It outdoes what the 301 does best - bass / bass dynamic. Actually it totally outclasses the 301.

I'll need to pop round and hear it sometime, if that's ok? :)

...Whereby I'm sure that I will then add it to my (fairly short) list of 'serious' turntables that offer high-end performance based on genuine engineering prowess and innovation, as opposed to being merely an exercise in marketing, preaching 'prestige value' to hapless badge snobs ;)

Hi Marco, sure we can arrange that. The TT is still in the final stages of development, once the last details are in place I'd be pleased to let you hear it. You could hear it as is but maybe it'll perform even better in a few weeks, though it's frankly hard to imagine in what aspect it could be improved but there's always something.

Sounds like a plan, Clive. Keep me posted. Would you mind if I brought my Techie round? I'm curious to see where it's 'at' in comparison and how close it gets, musically.

If it's happy not to be on 150,000 Mana-like stands then yes! :)

Haha, I'm sure it'll be willing to slum it! :)

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful - I want one - do you do interest free credit? :lolsign:
If it sounds half as good as it looks you must be very happy.
Cheers,
