In Reply to: RE: The recent success of belt drives in the new market today is due to high cost of DD engineering posted by kff on December 24, 2024 at 08:11:02
It's no use trying to debate "belt-drive vs. DD drive" sound. Vinylphiles are steeped in "resonance" from day one...
All that is left to debate is "type and degree" of "resonance". Purely subjective, pure fun.
Follow Ups:
by resonance, I assume you mean contamination of the signal. to me the goal of a turntable design is to minimize signal contamination, since everything resonates at some point and will blur the generation of the signal. so , acceptance of resonance seems strange to me, although it is seemingly inescapable.
I feel a major source of signal contamination is the external acoustic energy from playback, but it does help to isolate the motor from the plinth, along with the arm and platter. that's why I am strong on suspended belt drive designs, better acoustic isolation for the money.
I had a lot of fun with a direct drive and wish others the same happiness. For my tastes, a simple comparison of the design objectives and outcomes is enough to set my opinion. Of course, another's opinion is always equal to mine, since opinions are not facts.
