Funny thing is that recently I had 4 Walker Proscuitto owners buy Technics SP-10mk3 motor units from me in a matter of 2 weeks. I think a guy in the states, who had said Walker TT, also created a plinth for the Technics and it happily put the Proscui...

I believe a lot of the issues with earlier DD tables was that they were all servo controlled.  That is, a feedback loop kept the average velocity constant.  As a musical passage of complexity would slow the platter, the loop would respond w...
