This section describes the special features of the VALORE COMPACT turntable, the construction features, the reasons for the technical
choices and the originality of the design.
-
The VALORE COMPACT is rigid turntable that uses a plinth made of high damped MDF painted with exclusive colours.
-
The plinth bears three adjustable feet made of aluminium & Teflon® for ensuring greater insensitivity to vibrations.
-
The turntable platter is made of “extruded” acrylic chosen for its dampening ability and stability.
-
The spindle is a high class machined stainless steel split in two piece for which the name Split-Spindle™. Able to clamp the platter
thru its conical shape, it is 80 mm long to ensure a top class performance. A large longitudinal groove is located on its axis, which
allows the lubricating oil to run in constant manner. The longer spindle eradicates any pendulum effect and distributes the inertial
energy along its entire axis, completely annulling any type of lateral friction.
-
When the turntable is new the spindle will tend to clean any residual dirt in the bearing (which no preventive cleaning is capable of
completely removing). In this way even the tiniest residual friction built up after only a few dozen hours operation will be completely
eliminated.
-
The bearing houses two Teflon/Graphite rectified bearings that handle the spindle with the help of a customised thrust washer made
of a high technical polymer called Delrin® located on the bottom that allows:
-
Perfect coupling.
-
Adjustment of the VTA carried out directly on the turntable board.
-
The possibility of eliminating virtually every type of friction that could build up during the years with conventional
bearing/spindles.
-
Moreover, the bearing is threaded on the outside (the only one of its kind) in order to be tightly anchored to the board of the turntable
on its own axis. This allows avoiding the use of glue and anchoring screws that would lock the bearing out of alignment and prevent a
fully rigid and precise coupling.
-
The bearing is locked onto a brass ring support specially designed to obtain a flat board decoupling from the turntable plinth also.
-
The motor, which is AC (synchronous) 24 pole with an extremely high coupling coefficient and very low noise, using the innovative
HDM system properly design by Goldenote using the General Electric VEOLENE K-630 foam. It is moved by a custom made capacitor.
The motor that has a 3 mm stainless steel spindle is directly coupled onto the acrylic board thru a special brass system of rings able to
reduce vibrations at its best.
-
The pulley allows 33 & 45 rpm manual set up speed.
