    DD long stroke

    I am looking for suggestions for a Direct Drive with a 4mm to 5mm stroke.. something well desgined.
    What would be the best... not looking for a large motor or anything super powerful just something supper smooth for color that seems to have a sweet hit.
    Suggestions?

    There are a few people who just acquired Roman's new DD. Look out for some reviews once there is some legitimate needle in skin time on those.

    I use my h&m adjustable direct drives every day. Already have about 15 hours on em and they are hands down the best DD made IMHO, and I have had many different DD's from many different builders. Mick-

    I too have an adjustable stroke DD from HM, must have 20+ hrs with it. It's my go to colour machine and is also super smooth shader. I set mine at roughly 3.5mm stroke which is plenty.

    It wouldn't, it's a different type of animal, one last thing I will add is it is the most versatile rotary design I have in my drawer.
