Post Subject: Off CenterPosted by George on: 2/4/2006

In the traditional setup of a single motor and platter the motor is "pulling" the platter towards itself, setup D. Could this be of any concern? Supposedly one of the reasons Clearaudio uses 3 motors (other than to charge another $10K) is to keep the platter "centered" over the spindle with equal force from three equidistant motors.

Setup F does give better platter centering but here there is less belt contact. This might be a good thing in terms of minimizing vibration transfer but might be more susceptible to slippage.
