In the Thread: A longer turntable belt.
Post Subject: A double deck TurntablePosted by Romy the Cat on: 2/3/2006

Well, the "idle wheel" and “inertia ballast” ideas I do not think would be applicable to this case. I forgot to mention that both platters have high mass (42 and 62 kg) and therefore the normal worries that might apply to the belt topologies are not an issues in there. Also, I actually “drive” my platters by the belts (although they are very-very light-tensioned) instead to set the belts “to slip”.  I less concerned about the isolation and stability of the rotations - with this mass it is not an issue but rather with a desire to find out which platter would be in a “better belt-condition and which set as “referenced”. In my case the platter will have different sound, different purposes and use different type of arms/cartridges.
