          The Titan. The price, at least at the CAF, was $48K.

          Not as far as I know but anything is possible. Not sure that it's saving you all that money and the rim drive is much better sounding than the belt drive. You could conceivably though order it as a direct drive.

            Yes, that is the way Harry has always executed his rim drive.

            My cat took extreme pleasure in pulling the belts off the motor drive too. One blessing of the direct drive. Not having to figure out where Sweet Pea dragged the belt off to.

              Aside from that knob which could be a mechanical brake I don't see any provisions for speed selection, how's that done?

                I think you would use the outboard ADS motor power supply David. That's not shown.

                Then technically swapping out between the rim and belt drive should be as simple as swapping out the pulley.

                Off the top of my head, just swapping out motor drives and installing three belts. Like with the Avenger Reference table. Unless HW has something else up his sleeve.

              The knob actually moves the rim drive on precision dovetail slides so the tension can be set exactly or removed from contact when done listening.
              The table is available in rim, direct, or belt drive. I will tell you from listening tests the rim and direct win but it is really smooth in belt drive. The rim and direct have a shade more dynamics and life. I was actually stunned how good this version of the rim drive is, the magnetic driven platter removes the possible rim drive noise while leaving in the dynamics that come to the rim drive naturally.

                Personally, I would definitely go direct drive.

                  Have there been any changes to the Titan since you showed it at the Capitol Audiofest Harry?

                    I think one thing you can't appreciate is how snug and tight those armboards fit on the towers. Not sure how but they feel pretensioned and pretty tight even without tightening the lock bolt.

                          I assume but Harry can confirm 33 and 45 rpm.

                        Its about time HW got with the program. That was one of the reasons why I bought the TW - easy to set up arms and have more than one.

                        That said, Micro Seiki did it like 40 years ago.

                          Well truthfully Harry developed the concept for the Avenger tables over 10 years ago but the project got placed on the back burner.
