Post Subject: The TW’s idea of making active turntables.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/21/2008
Paul,
What attracts me to the TW TT is the idea that it is possible to discard anything that we might consider important but to make the platter as a sandwich what the bottom of the platter care bearing but the top of the platter is decupled from the bottom by some kind of anti-resonance layer. The concept I think is superbly powerful. It to plug into the game some very serious materiallogists then I think it might be possible to make an collection of the insertion rings with different level of viscosity and energy-transfers characteristics that might be placed between the bottom and top of a platter and tune the sound of turntable to what is necessary. Very cool idea of making active turntable instead of staticly-made design. Pretend that you get a TT base with a collection of 10-20 insertion rings and you in your own room ( considering how your TT install, what arm, cartridges, and zillion other criteria that influence your sound) is able to tune the TT to sound neutral in your specific circumstances. After you done you return the leftover rings to the manufactures. I think it is incredibly powerful concept, Very liberating concept!
