Myles, congratulations on getting engaged! As for the DirectDrive, I want one.
No one has commented on the SRA?
Congratulations Myles! SRA makes good stuff.

Congrats on all counts Myles, looking forward to your thoughts on the TT. Sorry you didn't get to hear the speakers in Vegas btw, room got hijacked and we were too polite.
Me too. Tried a couple times after but room was always busy. Guess that's a good thing!
Thanks Mark!
Congratulations on the new table, Myles. I must have missed it, but is this in for review, or did you buy it for your reference system?
I love the simplicity of the design captured in the photographs posted early in the thread. Could you describe the motor/platter unit and how it is attached to the plinth? Is it fixed or simply placed into the cavity? The table looks to be a major new entry into the turntable market, especially the Direct Drive category and seems priced competitively if it is reference quality. I would presume that its speed accuracy and consistency are as good as a top DD table like the Technics SP10 MK3. Have you tested it with something like a Sutherland TimeLine?
At some point when you get comfortable with the new set up, I'm sure a lot of WBF members would love to get your take on how your various stable of cartridges compare on the new table. Not many of us get the opportunity to hear so many different ones in a familiar system.
Enjoy in good health!
Vis a vis speed. According to Harry, "the speed stability of the CD is an order of magnitude better than anything a belt can do even with all parts running at +/- .0005" (motor shaft, motor pulley, platter circumference, platter shaft, etc.)." I never used Ron's device; I found the digistrobo was perfect for dummies.
Thanks Myles. I forgot to ask you if the speed is adjustable. A friend of mine tested his very expensive modern DD table with the TimeLine and the speed was off and there was no way to adjust it, so I'm just curious about this design. Will you check the speed with your digistrobo and report the results in the process of reviewing the table?
I'm confused by why Harry would mention a CD or the reference to a belt driven table. I just wonder if an end user has tested the speed of this direct drive table as it is surely one of the strengths of such a design.
