Nice one Peter. I like the looser thread vs very tight as well, but have never tried varying distance between motor and platter. Did you find that the longer the distance the better?
Leyenda, I like the looser and longer thread because it reduces the motor's influence on the platter. Any resonance in the thread is changed when changing the length and the tension. Both affect how resonances travel along the length of the thread. The platter has so much inertia that it needs very little help from the motor once up to speed. The further distance of the new motor location also reduced any motor resonance from traveling along the top shelf of the stand. The motor case and the turntable base have different isolation built in also reducing any interference.
So your serious allegation that I committed a knowing misrepresentation is based on your interpretation that I have suggested the turntable is for sale?
You concede my classified "ad is for the stand, not for the turntable" so you undermine your main point -- that I am selling the turntable.
I see nothing disingenuous whatsoever. You concede the ad is only for the stands.
I genuinely believe the turntable is available for purchase. Across many communications David has never given me any indication that he does not want to sell the turntable.
In selling the stands I might be able to steer to David a prospective purchaser of the turntable.
This thread is about the turntable, not the stand. You placed an ad for your stand, but you are soliciting a sale for the turntable with your posts in this thread, because it might help you sell your stand. I get that. My point is that David is not here and does not market his turntables on WBF for his own reasons. As a member of the industry, you should respect that. I mentioned this to you privately.

Please re-post here my post marketing David's turntables on WBF.
The irony about your line of questioning is that it is your posts on WBF about David's turntables that are evocative of the marketing of David's turntables, not my posts.
Where is this solicitation? Please re-post it for us here.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a brand new-in-the-box, never used, AS-2000 turntable please contact David Karmeli directly or I will put you in contact with David.

Ron, given your are a dealer for Clarysis and Hegel, why aren't you selling equipment through your business rather than here, which seems rather tatty.
I forgot about that post. Thank you for reminding me that I wrote a post (i) on the thread specifically about David's turntables, (ii) that one of David's turntables is available for purchase, and (iii) referring people directly to David to inquire.
Argo quoted that very post just this afternoon, and you responded to him directly a few hours later. And then you argued with me immediately afterwards saying you never wrote such a post soliciting interest in David’s turntable.
I don’t think your custom stand has ever had a turntable on it. And you have never seen your custom stand so how do you know that the combination looks “stunning“?
Perhaps you should have your stand shipped to the Café and demonstrate it for the customers who visit you. Sell it as a demo unit from the Cafe. You may even like the way it sounds and keep it for yourself.

Perhaps I might make the trader an offer for the record deck , I have been considering putting together a secondary system , but without quite the same expectations.
Those stands do look great, but Ron's is a different proportion and a different color. It is completely custom. It is the tallest stand made and all silver. It does not look like these stands.
Whoever purchases the turntable is the most likely purchaser of the unique, all stainless steel Nothing stands. So if I can find a purchaser for the turntable beyond David's group of customers I have a better chance of selling the Nothing stands.
The all stainless steel turntable on top of the all stainless steel stand is stunning looking. I think of them as a set.

When you kept referring to marketing I was thinking you meant something more formal and methodical than a single informal post offering to refer people directly to David.

You can get a good sense of it from thinking about your own stainless steel turntable on your own stainless steel platform. Rest assured that stainless steel on stainless steel looks stunning!
I think the standard Nothing racks with plain black shelves look pedestrian in comparison.

What an interesting idea. Ron could put his turntable on it -- your black Lamm electronics look good on their stainless steel platforms -- or perhaps he could put a stainless stell component on it. Rest assured that stainless steel on stainless steel looks stunning! It might make a great conversation piece and surely sell! Wouldn't it go with your Clarisys speakers, Ron?
