Combining three high torque motors with a humongous power supply results in a vice like grip on timing, reducing the effects of dynamic wow to an absolute minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason for this three motor arrangement is predominantly to deal with something dubbed ‘dynamic wow’. This is a phenomenon where the rotational speed of the platter is fractionally reduced when the modulation of the grooves on the LP changes (particularly on loud and complex passages in music), it’s a seemingly subtle but musically very important problem as it undermines the feeling of rightness, control and composure of the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost turntable designers use high mass platters to store the rotational energy, a flywheel in effect, but here the same goal is achieved by flipping the problem on its head with low rotational platter mass and held in a vice like grip by gobs of torque being transferred by a tautly tensioned drive belt. This means the platter very quickly returns to the correct speed whatever the load. It is a very elegant suspended design, the triangle array of motors helps keep the suspension centred, as well as reducing sideways pull on the bearing as found on almost all other turntable designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sub chassis that can support up to three tonearms, with counterweights installed when the additional armboards are not used to ensure it is always in equilibrium and has a predictable bounce in direction and frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high gloss black plinth supports the three motors which drive the platter via a perimeter drive belt. The platter itself is made from Lexan, a highly inert material that is low mass and low resonance, making it an excellent 'impedance match' to the vinyl itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe armboards are cut for only the 10\" AN-1S tonearm, no other arms can be accommodated. As Audio Note states - it is the perfect arm for the deck, so why offer anything else?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe latest power supply is a substantial single box with its four transformers, analogue frequency control and a dedicated drive board for each motor. Naturally component quality is exceptional. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Deco Audio Shop","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Black","offer_id":57827015917832,"sku":null,"price":14850.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Aluminium","offer_id":57827015950600,"sku":null,"price":14850.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ Black","offer_id":57827015983368,"sku":null,"price":14850.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ Aluminium","offer_id":57827016016136,"sku":null,"price":14850.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/3603\/7640\/files\/HalfRefover2copy.jpg?v=1778861157","url":"https:\/\/decoaudioshop.co.uk\/products\/audio-note-tt-three-reference-turntable","provider":"Deco Audio Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
