Suspended vss Stationary by design

Hi,
I was just thinking ------------------
(Oh yeah, real slowly :-) It might just make for a case about the difference in dynamic vs static tonearm balance?

'Sloshing' about, would affect a spring-loaded arm somewhat less, wouldn't it?
And the top Linn arms are all dynamically balanced - well done, I say!

>> So how can my suspended turntable be both relaxed and fast and neutral? <<

The Linn has a very short 'stiff' drive-belt, that makes it 'on the point' with speed, include that motor controller here too. B U T it still seems to 'round over' the transients a bit. Along came this new idea of the keel...., latest iteration of the Ekos..., OK, and we'll see what they come up with next :-)

My SME 10 for example, has the same short LP12 belt, motor controller (not Linn of course) and a very rigid connection between tonearm, base, bearing and platter.

Nothing doing any trampoline acts either. What do you get? Neutrality to the point of dryness --- if that is not your ticket that's fine also i.e. all a question of preference (oh hell, not again!).

Hi Doug,
well laid out points, yes.
Now, how about those dang tt's that played standing upright, oh --- and mounted into a car! (before the event of compact tapes)... ALL with dynamic VTF.

Yes, that there is that cantilever and then there is compliance, now lets pick 4-6cu that's not a lot of spring either. So, if a suspended deck 'rocks' / vibrates, now what about the extremes I mentioned above?
I know, everything is RELATIVE at some stage, but less gravitational down force say 2.5g in lieu of spring VTF MIGHT make a difference - I say.
And Linn seems to agree using dynamic VTF arms also.
Just for the argument :-)
