T/T Drive Systems - various conundrums and conclusions

I think he just has;)

I can only see the one post from him :scratch:

My next deck, for personal use will be a German-build direct drive. Massive platter and low torque motor. I have no need for instant-start-to-speed requirements. Years ago I used a Denon DP-75 with Breuer 8-Dynamic and Supex 901. For my tastes in my room with my then system it was utterly compelling.

Oddly my Pink Triangle with same arm and cartridge had a similarly mesmerizing effect – but with different tonal characteristics of course. Accuracy? What accuracy?. No other combinations, with or without Glaswegian thuggery ever came close.

Thus I sit on both sides of the fence. On balance though, I’m direct-drive at heart.

Howard I would love to hear that deck when you get it
