My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive
@ fjn04 You nailed it ! |
ochremoon- It sounds like you have heard quite a bit, so my assessment is also broad, to say the least. onhwy61- None of the variables you referred to were obvious here.... Same rack.... feet and platter were similar or the same. We all hear differently, so I'm not suggesting belt (or Idler) drive have anything over DD.... All I'm saying is I preferred the belt drive that day. |
This is meaningful only in the sense that you have compared two turntables and found that you like the sound of one better than that of the other. Period. I can tell you about two direct-drive turntables, one of which has an inherently more "romantic" sound than the other. I could do the same with two belt-drives. |
I had a very highly regarded belt drive TT for the last 4 years and loved it. I now have a new DD TT with coreless motor and it just blows away my old belt drive TT. There are also too many variables here to make a good direct comparison between the two TT's but I'm just saying I really like the DD sound. |
