Nice turntables. Attached picture is an absolute requirement.

Next big thing ...

Here’s an animation I once set up in order to convince myself that the PUA-7 tonearm of my vintage Sony PS-X60 turntable has indeed two rotation positions with tracking error zero

That is one thing I've never even thought of....counting the dots on my Technics!

Some people miss out on all the good things in life…

Funny that so many expensive turntables use round section belts which are admittedly cheap and easy but poor engineering practice.
Bling is clearly what they are mainly there for.

What cross section and material would you select, if you were starting from scratch?

No belt.

Damn turntables just sold a couple to make some space but find myself irresistibly drawn back to my all time favourite Sony PS-X9,

I do recall one of our members posted detailed photos of his Goldmund Reference with a linear tonearm. It was very impressive.

@DHT845 you own these? I always took this thread to mean your own tt's at least....

I wonder if a wireless version (up to a certain extent) could be possible.

Wouldn't that freak out the purists to an extent? I remember when Sony released a BT version of a tt, that got a few complaints accordingly. Using wifi should be possible but then you've got dacs and other stuff the purists would eschew....

I didn’t take it that way, though I posted my own. It just says post a pic of a turntable you think looks good. And then goes on to say you can also share info about general vinyl related memories if you want.

Just the way I took it now that I reread the OP. Still, posting pictures of other peoples' tts seems a waste, one can always just look at one of the mags glorifying such....

The idea is, wireless insofar as to »unbind« the tone arm.

And get rid of capacitance worries?

To do wireless from a turntable you would have to go through -some- sort of preamp, which means any capacitance or other cartridge matching would have to be done there. Realistically you'd do RIAA EQ there as well. When most people think 'wireless' they also mean 'digital' so you'd have to do an A/D conversion, and ideally you'd do the RIAA EQ in the digital domain as well, where it should be easier to get perfect. If by 'digital wireless' you mean 'Bluetooth' then you need to encode it as well for transmission. A/D conversion and lossy encoding are of course audiophile anathema.

Like it or not this is a cool looking turntable.
