Reference Turntable
The Reference turntable employs a low-speed, recoil start synchronous motor on a single spring mounting driving the platter via a neoprene belt, thereby providing complete vibration insulation. The main bearing is manufactured from high-grade aluminum with two pressed fit P.T.F.E bushes at either end of the housing ensuring minimum contact with the bearing spindle, which it self comprises of a silver steel shaft and aluminum hub running on to a ceramic ball bearing. Platter speed is determined by the a.c mains frequency, which is effectively constant. Speed changing is accomplished by moving the drive belt from one motor pulley to the other. On/off switching is by means of a small toggle switch on the motor assembly.
