How much would an additional motor help

Dear Tonywinsc: I'm sorry by my ignorance but what means: R/C engine. Thank's.

Regards and enjoy the music,

A scale model radio controlled car or airplane engine. It would be kind of loud, might need a big muffler. :)

We will see Monday when upgrades arrive UPS. My interest in 2 motors started last year when I heard a 30k Clearaudio turntable with 2 motors and it sounded spectactular. Buttery smooth with detail. That made an impression on me. He did not have a first rate system hooked to it and that made it all the more surreal. It also had the same tonearm and cartridge attached to it that I have! Benz L2 and Graham tonearm. I know his TT set up cost about 4 times as much as mine and cant compare apples to apples. One other reason I bought an extra motor with belts is uncertainty of AS being around in 5 years. On reason I went there was to buy a vintage Nak deck off his Craigslist ad. I had a chance to buy an extra arm for my Graham 2.2 but he wanted too much for it. Another reason was to see if my cartridge was the source of hum in my chain. He put my cartridge on spare wand and hooked it up to TT and it clearly was. Hum bothered me for over a year. After that I bought a cheap $39 shure and no hum. Then hum slowly set in again!!!!!!!! Found the culprit. Bedini clarifier was less than a foot away from cartridge. Live and learn. Actually the cheap cartridge sounded ok if you have a decent turntable. I did get the platter upgrade this summer with the 24 silencers and liked it. Tighter focusing with clarity.

With "hum", my general experience is that most times what you think cured it turns out not to have cured it. It finds its way back somehow. Balanced circuitry does away with the problem, completely and forever. Anyway, I hope that is not the case for you; I hope the hum is indeed gone. Also, what some of us call hum is not really hum, in strict terms. Hum is 60Hz or 120Hz pure tone. Is that what you heard? Most of the time, it's noise, a mixture of frequencies, e.g., a buzz.

I had a Benz wood s for 10 months now and no hum.
