Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 jefferoo said: your mom i think ludd's point is that your advice for direct drive vs belt driven is contradicted by just about everything ever written concerning making a choice of which type of turntable to buy *ahem* but he's not ripping vinyl so direct drive is *probably the best way to go esp for a first turntable Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44702-vinylturntable-thread-for-noobs/page/2/#findComment-1014232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Direct Drive - DJing Belt Drive - Home Listening if you look at most (if not all) high end audiophile turntables, they are belt driven. this is to reduce vibrations from the motor that could be picked up by the stylus.

hexagon son Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 i honestly recommend just getting either a new or 2nd hand technics 1200. it should really last you for pretty much forever. belt drive's are better for noise reduction but direct drive's (quartz timed) are much better for timing.

Me too. s'nice ! Except I got the normal Debut III rather than the one with the integrated pre-amp (I got a Cambridge 640p preamp), replaced the mat with a cork mat, and got the Speed Box II for it. Next thing I think I'll change is either the stylus or cartridge (though I'll probably never get round to doing either) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.
