Most direct drive turntables are a Cog’n’Pull Story.
There's a common problem shared by most direct drive motors cogging. They cog because the spaces or "slots" between the magnetic poles of the motor exert a different force than the poles themselves So you get cog and pull, cog and pull. Uneven rotation. Rumble.
Two new turntables from Garrard. And no cogging!
Garrard's two new direct drive. single play turntables--the DD131 and DD132-are free of cogging. But more Garrard engineering has designed and incorporated the ingenious; Fail-Safe Drive System that assures the user a powerful thrust and absolutely steady rotational speed.
Three key elements.
One---The motor is the heart of any direct drive turntable. The new DC Servo-controlled motor, developed and built by Garrard, is brushless, coreless and slotless It ends cogging by exerting a constant magnetic force during the entire 360° rotation of the platters.
Two---State-of-the-art speed monitoring. A Time-Integral-Velocity monitoring system instantly detects the slightest variation that could affect speed
Three---"Hall effect" circuitry gives final assurance of precise speed by making instant correction of any rotational irregularity.
There it is Garrard’s Fail-Safe Drive System with a cog-less motor, constant monitoring and instant correction And still more.
The Fail-Safe Drive System by itself makes for a great turntable But, in addition, both models boast the same ultra-light, 12-gram tonearm (including magnesium headshell) Moreover, the drive system and tonearm are integrated with the silent, smooth and dependable Delglide system (You’ve seen the rave reviews )and both turntables come with the now-famous Garrard three-year warranty Differences'? The DD131 is semiautomatic, the DD132 fully automatic.
A great value.
Finally There's the good news that provides as much reason to buy one of these turntables as their quality and features The price under $200.00. Write to us We'll forward complete information about both of these handsome models And we promise No cog and pull stories
Garrard---More than ever.
