TTW has come in for more than a little criticism on this forum, mostly from one or two dissatisfied customers. I am not a customer, but I always thought they deserve a little credit for their "all-out" approach, whether I always agree with their design decisions, or not. (Usually not.) The Momentus does indeed look to be very well built. I am just not a fan of rim drive the way they do it. However, in the Momentus they have isolated the copper platter from the driven part of the platter, which should be good.
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
I must say interesting indeed - anyone happen to have one or had a listen? Any initial impressions
Some specs ...
- 99.999% pure Copper platter weighs in at 88Lbs 40 Kg's
- Total weight of the whole table tipping the scales of 200-220Lbs
- Bearing Shaft is Pure Micro Grain Carbide .5 inch diameter x 1.5 inches deep
- DC Servo Direct Rim Drive Super Torque with 24,000 pulse drive control (each revolution counts 24,000 points for accuracy and the MOMENT of inertia combined with the rim drive provides perfect rotational accuracy
