Except....

Except that no scientific instrument manufacturer woould stay in business with products which had the degree of performance degradation inherent in the way turntables are built, the Garrard included.

I would like to be able to say that no Hi Fi manufacturer would stay in business with scientific instrument pricing, but.....

What I mean to say is that unless a turntable is built to instrument standards (and if anyone has I haven't seen it) then the decoupling solutions applicable to instrumentation are probably not going to be the entire answer because they don't address the problems of internally generated vibration.

While I've got you John, can you tell me if there is a simple rule of thumb for the ratio between the minimum speed which gives adequate lift and the maximum sustainable speed for a hydrodynamic bearing?
