Talk:Direct-drive turntable

There does not seem to be anything to discuss - the contents of this page are already in the gramphone page. The only need is for a re-direct entry (however that may be done). Spenny 13:00, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This page as it currently stands is an advertisement for Technics / Panasonic.

My factual corrections have all been deleted which gives the impression that there is a (paid?) gate-keeper or editor.

My factual corrections, references and links to earlier non-Technics direct drive turntables, eg the 1929 Swiss patent for a Direct Drive Turntable and the links and write up about Thorens direct drive turntables of the 1950s have all been deleted so as to preserve the untrue and incorrect assertion that Technics invented the direct drive turntable.

I previously corrected this page by adding historical facts and references about earlier direct drive turntables. All this important and valuable historical information was deleted.

Shame on Wikipedia for permitting such false advertising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.64.243.136 (talk) 03:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Audiophiles

[edit]

This article seems to very skewed towards DJing and scratching. It gives the impression that turntables are used mostly for other reasons than playing a record. I never knew of slip mats, and I sure don't want my record to slip while playing. How do direct-drive turntables relate to audiophiles, or connoisseurs of analog music? --Flight Risk (talk) 00:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Motor type

[edit]

I think synchronous motor is a better description of the motor type. In the Technics turntable that I have taken apart the rotor definitely has permanent magnets. The whole point of an induction motor is that the magnetic field in the rotor is induced by the rotating magnetic field of the stator. 82.43.182.178 (talk) 11:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
