Low Cost Turntable - Incredible Performance

@devinplombier 

If you live in Perth, Australia, he’s just a short drive away

Perth in Australia is the most distant capital city in the Western World!  It is about 4,000-km from Sydney by road.  In a road test of a Jaguar being driven from Perth to Sydney, the testers were impressed when the GPS announced "in 980-kms take the second turn on the roundabout".

Being isolated enforces self-reliance and Perth is home to audio innovators like ER Audio (electrostatic speakers) and March Audio (amplifiers, speakers).

The March husband and wife team drove over for the Sydney Hi Fi Show, and in my opinion had the best sound in the show.  They live in Gingin on the Brand Highway just north of Perth.  Three days drive each way to Sydney!

 record wobble frequency is at 1 Hz

Thanks - I had a brain fade and got my starting point wrong.  33-rpm is about 0.5-Hz, not 2-Hz.  My mistake.  Hopefully it shows I was not relying on AI (though maybe I should have been!)

@richardbrand ,

Are you saying a Jaguar made a 4000 km trip??!

How many breakdowns?

"Grace, space and pace".

I am only saying that the GPS bit was still working near the start of the Eyre Highway!

When I was a kid, the owner of the local garage was a Jag nut.  The factory helped him a lot, because just after the Mark I was released, he floored the accelerator and collected a lot of scenery.  His diagnosis was that the engine rotated enough under torque that the engine drain plug fouled the steering mechanism.

(A couple of my friends independently still run Jaguars with V8 engines produced when Jag was owned by Ford)

@richardbrand ,

I think a Jag going 4000 km without breaking down is about as likely as a $299 turntable sounding "incredible"! 

May I ask, are you of Irish descent?
