VPI turntable again......


Hi,
I make my judgement on any product based on observation and common scense. I never own a VPI turntable and I never will since I don't believe in their design. The VPI design just don't make scense to me.

Let see some of the VPI's design....like the tri-pulley design. It just don't make scense at all....just the bearing(the one which support the platter) already make a lot of noise and you can hear it !!! Now add three tiny pulley and spinning at high speed.....I really don't know how many rpm. At that small size....may be a 800 rpm !!!! And there are a total three high speed pulley spinning at 800 rpm....It is a truly noise make machine !!!! Where did the noise goes? It has to go somewhere...it won't just disappear into thin air....again you can hear more noise and it all come out from you speaker.

And another design is two motor driving one pully and then the turntable.....no two motor turn with 100% accuracy...there is always some variation in speed...Beside one motor is noisy enough, now add two. Double the noise output. Where did all the motor noise goes? Again, you can hear it from you speaker.

If I made someone angry in my earlier post....I apology. I hope this post help you to understand why I'm saying what I said.

Peace.............

This is the most entertaining thread I've read in weeks.

Edle, you're kinda like the person that knocked off Ken Jennings on Jeopardy, only different. BTW, I'm very interested in the Verdier tables. Please elaborate on your experiences with it, what arm, cart., phono stage, etc. and how does it compare sonically to other tables you've HEARD? Please name the tables you compare to.

Raul, never thought I'd say this, but welcome to our world.
This is grrrreat! Cheers,
Spencer
