This video I wanted to show how quick it comes up to speed and stablizes.

@n7ksi No, it's not about the tonearm. I don't know what cartridge you are using but there's an extraordinary solidity about the sound that suggests heavyness and stability. So like you say, it must be the rubber biscuits combined with the very heavy platter.

That has inspired me to not only listen to Monk for the first time but also to go out and pay quite handsomely for a Thorens TD-124 set up with SME 3009 Tonearm ........beautiful music on a beautiful system...........thank you
-
damn the sounds good even over crappy stream what needle/cart/arm?
great work
-
And will you please tell me the name of the tonearm, too?
-
You reproduce the music very well. I would like
to hear other music by your TD124.

That's were I usually record my albums and digitize them with Sony Sound Forge and store them on the external HD there on top of the sound card. But in this case I used the mixer of the sound card to mix in a microphone to catch the room noise and sending it to my second computer with a ATI TV tuner card. Then I'm using the ATI software to capture the audio and the video out of the camera. So I'm not doing any EQ. I'm just using the first computer as a mixer.
Thanks for the comment

I've heard that this Thorens and the Garrard 301's and 401's sound great even though they use an idler drive system. I can hear it but I don't get it. Can you explain?

@49kasey I don't know exactly how to answer that. They probably shouldn't sound better. The idler wheel does transfer a lot of the motor noise. All I can think of is they all have very heavy platters and they put a lot of work into the spindle bearings. On the Thorens, they have a aluminum sub-platter the sits on rubber biscuits to isolate it a little more from the motor. I think the biggest thing was being able to mount your own tonearm and get the geometry dialed in.

Of course if you want it to start really fast you can use the slip clutch on the left side of the platter.

Yes definitely. I use that all the time. It's a great feature. Once you get that heavy patter going, it's best just to keep everything spinning.
I originally made this because people were giving me advice on how to restore it. One of the tests was the spin up time. It was taking 45 seconds to come up to speed. Now, after all the cleaning and repair/replacements, it takes about 1 revolution. So I did this video to show those people helping me the results.
