There does not seem to be anything to discuss - the contents of this page are already in the gramphone page. The only need is for a re-direct entry (however that may be done). Spenny 13:00, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Audiophiles[edit]

This article seems to very skewed towards DJing and scratching. It gives the impression that turntables are used mostly for other reasons than playing a record. I never knew of slip mats, and I sure don't want my record to slip while playing. How do direct-drive turntables relate to audiophiles, or connoisseurs of analog music? --Flight Risk (talk) 00:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Motor type[edit]

I think synchronous motor is a better description of the motor type. In the Technics turntable that I have taken apart the rotor definitely has permanent magnets. The whole point of an induction motor is that the magnetic field in the rotor is induced by the rotating magnetic field of the stator. 82.43.182.178 (talk) 11:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
