Need a list of TT with arms and motors seperate


I've been thinking of upgrading sometime in the future from my VPI SuperScout Master. I thought to my self that if I ever do it has t be a TT with their motor and arm completely seperate from the plinth. Any suggestion out there?? One that comes to mind is the RED POINT.

The Red Point tables are rumored have some serious reliability issues. Teres' prices have risen sharply over the past few years, and I don't think any of their models actually isolate the tonearm from the platter on a seperate base.

There's little advantage to placing the arm on a seperate base. It will greatly complicate set-up and assuredly increase the odds that your arm and cartridge will accidently go out of alignment, damaging them and your records. The only plus I can imagine might be a reduction of bearing noise, but most of that is picked up by the cartridge through the platter anyway. As I see it, there lots to lose and little to gain from such a design.
So I guess the solution is to get a TT with little to no bearing noise? Which ones are they?
There aren't many tables out there where the arm is on an arm "base" or "armpod" which is COMPLETELY separated from the plinth.

If you are willing to accept a "half-way there" solution to what you are looking for, like the Teres where the armboard is attached to an extension of the plinth, then you might also consider Galibier, MicroSeiki ( the larger ones - 1500, 3000, 5000, and 8000 series), or any number of other tables with similar set-up (Platine Verdier, EuroLabs, Simon Yorke, top-end Sota, Acoustic Signature). This is not to say that any of the above tables are only "halfway there" solutions to a high-end analog system, just that they only meet half the criteria you set. Come to think of it, of the ones I mentioned, the closest to separate arm base might be the Verdier.

If you are willing to experiment or DIY a bit, you could probably build a separate armbase where the extension could be brought close enough to the table, in which case a tall-and-thin plinth might suit (Teres, Verdier, MicroSeiki, Galibier, etc). If you went a bit further, you might be able to DIY your way into what you want through a project using Teres or Origin Live parts.

I, for one, look forward to reading others' suggestions to your search.

================================

Verdier Platine has no bearing noise since it doesn't have a conventional thrust bearing. A magnetic thrust bearing is silent.
If you are looking for low bearing noise, check out Harry Pearson's review of the new EAR turntable.I believe it is in the August issue. Magnetic bearing - completely silent. Harry was quite impressed.
