I was never addressing the "in there", just the details about the A80 capstan motor, that I had posted pictures. What are you exactly addressing by "in there"?

The AF0 motor, that's what we were talking about with Shakti.

Thanks - so you are saying that the Shakti is not a three phase motor?

It’s actually a single phase motor that you can drive with a three phase supply too.

david

I can not figure how can they drive a single phase motor with a three phase supply. Can you explain us?

I'm not an electronics engineer and can't explain it to you, we also had a 3 phase supply made for the same motor but didn't see a sonic advantage over a single phase one. I'll look for the wiring diagrams for this motor and post it later if I find it.

Thanks for correcting the Autocorrect Andrew, hard to see at times on a phone screen :)!

The spectrum is the beauty of analog LP playback.

david

Ah yes David the dreaded autocorrect

I love all the ones you mentioned

Ida has a special place though

For once in my audio journey, I made a smart buy. :D

It is something that's best experienced. Think of the difference as different orchestras and/or conductors playing the same piece of music, even at the very top each orchestra has it's own sound and competency level this where the difference is. You can also think of it in terms of Heifetz vs Handel and in extreme case vs Kremer, take your pick.

At this level playback it really comes down to levels of naturalness and realism than anything else, of course the rest of the chain need to be up to it. Sadly even top level tts of any kind aren't even close to the Beyond group's "Natural & Believable" sound, again something that first hand experience will show you in a few minutes what is nearly impossible to explain in writing.

Excellent.
And in different venues.

Don't forget Oistrakh. :)
