    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    The plinth surface in the CSport is part of the bearing, that is the problem. The bearing always has to be the closest point, or it won't rotate.

    That makes no sense, to have any saving effect, the ring would have to be higher than the bearing surfaces, that are very close themselves, the platter has to rotate without touching the ring.

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    Not really possible, as the distance between the surfaces are so small, when a airbearing engages it does not lift the platter much. Oil or lubricant would blow of over time. A hard coating or hardening of the metal on potential rub surfaces is possible , but not on CSport i guess .

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    I use a tool compressor, it is noisy as hell, but has a 50 liter expansion tank, i keep it in the attic i cannot hear it at all. It starts up every 40 minutes and runs for about 40 seconds to a pressure of 10 bar. If my power goes the platter will stop long before the air bearing has lost its...

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    "No bearing at all" is not correct, there will always be a film of air that suspends the platter, if that disappears the part being kept apart will touch, if this happens during rotation the parts can sustain damage, unless they are so hard they can't scratch. Alternatively a porous carbon air...

    I would worry more if a air hose breaks or pops of. :eek: If power goes, propulsions from the motor will stop too, and the platter lowers itself gradually.

    You can find pictures of the Micro Seiki air bearing on the internet, it will give you a general idea of its working/consruction.

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    The cuttouts in the platter and the base of the TT are made in a angle/dimension that centers the platter under pressure, the correct pressure is also important for best sound and lowest air loss during rotation. A sudden total air los during rotation could damage the air bearing surface. My...

    They sure have useless representation here in Denmark, i tried to get a new LP-S for a whole year, finally gave up and bought a VDH Grand Cru instead, my luck i guess ! :) Could be they just could not get cartridges from Benz, i had better luck 6-7 years ago.

    160 kg in one piece ! :eek: Maybe a motor lift for a V8 is needed to lower it correctly !

    Very cool in action ! The design has grown on me since i saw the first still pictures. In the videos the artsy looks combined with the overpowering size have a different impact. :) I am sure it is even more stunning in real life.
