April Fool’s. Nice try. Except, Teres turntables (and probably others) did indeed use dental floss for a while. They also tried tape recorder tape, which is actually made to not stretch so good idea, except it requires the platter and motor be perfectly flat and parallel. This was like 15 years ago at least. The Basis table I had back then used a rubber belt, easy enough to try dental floss, and I did. Improved detail and dynamics. Look close you will see the dental floss. http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pics/C_miller_web/Miller_carbon_5.jpg I don't use it any more, Teres Verus motor replaced this, but I was running floss a while and you can see the level of the rig not exactly entry level. http://www.theanalogdept.com/c_miller.htm April Fool’s around here is tough. To find something crazy enough to be funny without having a serious answer you really have to work at it. Better luck next time. |
