Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables

Richardkrebs,

The timeline test is showing that your TT is working correctly but do you honestly believe that its servo has some sort of preview of the upcoming modulation and reacts predictively? Of course not, it REACTS to a slow down and corrects.

This is what I mean.....
You present not a shred of scientific evidence to prove what you say or disprove what the Timeline shows....
Yet you reach a positive conclusion stated with precise conviction....

I do not understand how the time line test proves that the pod is not moving? All it is measuring is the platter's speed.

If this is true....I fear that you do not understand the basic physics of the question you pose.....

Halcro
Humor me.
Explain how passing the timeline test proves that the arm pod is not moving.

Cheers

Richardkrebs,
The Timeline works by detecting stylus drag which is caused by friction.
To make an armpod move via the stylus/tonearm it must be solely by the friction (stylus drag) which is your hypothesis....
You need to understand and appreciate things like the mass, density and the inertia of the tonearm pod. Then you need to understand the disposition of the centre of gravity of such an item and the shear stresses which need to be transferred through the cartridge/tonearm to the fixing plate to then be converted to a bending-moment force sufficient to overturn such a mass about its centre of gravity.
Before any of that occurs....the frictional forces of the stylus in the record groove will have ground the record to a halt...and possibly into the dust...
But common sense will make this obvious to even lay folk....

Halcro
Yes I get the arm pod high mass and footprint thing.

Again
How does passing the time line test prove that the arm pod is NOT moving.

Cheers

Sigh......😖
