Semi, the HR-X uses two 24 pole motors, which are 7 degrees offset from each other. It takes a lot of torque to spin the flywheel as well as the platter with the perimeter clamp. To use a smaller motor doesn't make sense with all that mass.
VPI Aries - either or question, please comment
I have a credit and can buy either option 1 or option 2. Any help?
Thanks in advance.
OPTION 1:
- VPI Aries turntable w/ JMW10" arm (~$3,700)
OPTION 2:
- VPI Aries turntable w/ JMW9" arm (~$2,600)
- VPI SDS (synchronous Drive System) for speed accuracy (~$1,000)
- $100 for the extra cables needed.
I guess the question is simply, how good is the 10" arm and would the 9" arm paired with the SDS better it?
Thanks!!
