    But the price of the M7 in the same alligator skin finish? :p (Might be a damn sexy looking speaker, with J-Lo acceptance factor! )

    I think you just need to record in landscape mode.

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    Rex, with the Vyger I leave the platter spinning. The platter surface has a small rubber lip around the outer edge to aid the vacuum hold down. Once the vacuum is turned off the LP is easily lifted off the rotating platter. The thin rubber lip slightly elevates the LP from the surface making...

    Is good counter-balance to chicken-neck from looking down at your handheld devices.

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    I think you over-estimate the reach of forums and blogs into our hobby. I think the # of folks who‘d have genuine interest and means to acquire such a beast is only slightly represented on WBF. I’m confident ddk has a large customer base from many years in audio and besides Peter we don’t hear...

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    Peter, the Vyger platter will not spin at all until the pump supplies the air pressure to levitate it. I assume the same is true for the AS tables?

    Mike, thanks for posting and for your summary. Nice to see lots of gear was noted from “good enough” to “stand out”… I think this speaks well for the hobby. System matching of course is key, but lots of choices for the hobbiest. Not everyone is chasing the grail, many just want to assemble an...

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    Its a crazy wild design, to my eyes a little less garish than Wadax, but with a certain early StarTrek alien planet gestalt. Love the strobe markings on the platter… if speed is dialed in for 33, is it automatically dialed in for 45? Or does the strobe light frequency change (since there are not...

    And that approach is… ? What can you tell us? (Is there someplace this is all detailed?)

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    I’m sure they are… but i am 100% ignorant of David’s approach. American vs Italian attempting to solve the same problem who would expect anything but a few similarities at best — Ford vs Ferrari! (And I am not using “Ford” as a pejorative, quite the opposite in this case.) What is you level of...

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    Yes in case of Vyger, the spindle is ~2 inch diameter. Air pressure less than 1 bar. Even more fun… somehow Giuseppe also incorporates vacuum hold-down.

    Correct, the only thing touching is stylus and belt (thread).

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    In the case of VYGER, there is no bearing, only air. I can’t say for David’s design but I’m sure Peter can tell us. I’m going to guess David’s table also uses no bearing ‘cause a bearing is always going to introduce ‘something’ certainly not ‘nothing’.
