Hello from Lippstadt - Germany
Well, I've been a member here for over 1 1/2 years, have read along again and again,
but haven't written anything yet. I wanted to get to know the flair of the community.
Lippstadt is a small but very nice town in northern Germany. Not far away from Dortmund.
Well, what drives me? 14 years ago I returned to the analogue world, to vinyl.
Since then I have been fascinated by mass drives and linear tracking tonearms.
As an engineer of precision engineering, I developed actively controlled tangential tonearms
and now build them in very small series - by order.
I also build various high-end mass drives with magnetic bearings and not as least various drive units,
e.g. as a replacement motor unit for Micro Seiki RX-1500 or RX-5000.
All our products carry the brand name Dereneville. The explanation is very simple:
it is the name of my lovely wife who stands behind me and inspires me every day.
It gives me great pleasure to accept and master challenges. I work together with two good friends.
One is a graduate engineer in communications engineering and the other is a well-known
natural scientist Dr. rer. nat. from Cern in Switzerland. Both work in the automotive industry
in software and hardware development.
We are also lovingly called the three analogue musketeers. I hope that I am welcome here
and that there will be interesting conversations. That should be enough for now, I think.
With kind regards,
Cheers Rainer
