…based on Lenco platter and bearings.<\/p>\n

Well , a bit complicated title, but this deck serves a few purposes. Only one motor (left) drives two platters via a tape between them.<\/p>\n

This concept goes back to an idea originating from s.o. wo had two Garrards and drove one via a belt passively. There are also French guys from the L’audiophile circle driving a passive platter with another player via a belt.<\/p>\n

Not sure who was the first one using s.th. like this.<\/p>\n

The absence of a running motor in the deck with the tonearm is supposed to make a big difference.<\/p>\n

In this build the motor is far away, but still on the same plinth. Which spoils the isolation idea a bit of course.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The basic concept illustrated in a small video:<\/p>\n
