A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear Dertonarm: IMHO you don'ty need to made that kind of comments on the Onedof and its designer.

I don't remember to read any single similar comment on your protractor design or with you even that you have a very long " tail " for comments about.

I think that every single audio item design deserve our respect even if we don't like it or we think is wrong.

Btw, Nandric I agree: at least four belts.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Raul, There may be some incosistency between your statement that 'every single...item design deserve our respect' and your agreement with me that (only) 3 belts on this TT make this TT to expensive. So we both are,I think, entitled to ask at least 4 belts for this price. However I am glad to see that the Mexican kind of humour is similar
to the Balkan kind.

Regards,

Dear Raul,

in this case Dertonarm is absolutely right. You should not fall into the trap of marketing. There are other TTs which provide same stableness and bearing technology. Look at the EMT 927 bearing - and this is proofed in professional business since 50 years. Look at the Continuum`s bearing and do experience it in real life. As I said I have experienced the ONEDOF and I took my conclusions soundwise. Yes for 10.000 Dollar because of the nice design and the build quality - okay. But it is up to you going for 15 times the price because you think technologywise this is a major improvement. You only need to cross the border for a short flight to Denver, maybe at the next RMAF. Have fun!

Dear Thuchan: I don't think is a " trap of marketing " and I think you either.

I'm not speaking about performance but I'm speaking about the designer contribution to improve the TT design. Remember that on the Onedof design exist registered trade marks/patents and I think that with out have in our hands a precise and clear proofs of that " trap of marketing " we could give him the benefit of dude, don't you think?

Dear Raul,

I do respect all technological inventions. Having a patent does not necessarily mean something, it depends on the topic the patent covers.
we need to look into it more deeply.

If you ever build a TT Raul don't forget to put the price tag over "100.000", this will raise attention. Look at the plastic buttons at the motor. Besides of the stable bearing what is so special, technically? one motor with three belts? the separate tonearm stand? - which looks very good, absolutely.

I like the stand's design! but I would not pay 20.000 Dollar for a stand, would you?

best & fun only
