About
Who designs Isostase
Olydyne is a small engineering outfit: one person designs the electronics, writes the embedded software, draws the enclosure and measures the result. Isostase was born from a personal need: making a Transrotor run more steadily than its original power supply allows.
How the project started
I own a Transrotor Zet 3. Measuring its speed, I wanted to go further than an open-loop power supply can: measure the platter itself and correct continuously. I also wanted a display to show what is happening in real time, to track long-term drift and to log the playing time of each cartridge. Isostase is the result of that work.
Who is behind Olydyne
My name is Thierry Weber and I am the founder of Olydyne. A self-taught electronics engineer, I trained initially in electrical engineering, mechanics and industrial automation, and spent 20 years in industry before going independent.
I also run a repair workshop for high-end and vintage audio electronics. It teaches me what breaks, what ages badly and what can be repaired: Isostase is designed with those constraints in mind.
What I do myself
- The electronics: schematics and printed circuit board layout.
- The embedded software.
- The mechanical design of the enclosure.
- The measurements: method, instruments and results, published with their limits (Speed, wow and flutter measurements of a Transrotor turntable).
What is subcontracted
The aluminium enclosure, the printed circuit boards and, in part, the assembly of the boards are made in China. Design, the finishing of component placement on the boards, final assembly and adjustment are carried out in Portugal.
The company
Olydyne is a brand of Maptuner LDA, a Portuguese company based in Lisbon (NIF/NIPC 515296791). Full details are in the legal notice.
Warranty and after-sales service
Isostase carries a 3-year commercial warranty on the unit (controller and motor power supply), in addition to the legal warranties. Repairs are carried out by Olydyne. Detailed terms will be published in the terms of sale when sales open.
Product status
Isostase is in development; launch is planned for late 2026 / early 2027. What is published here is measured, and what is not measured is presented as such. See the Isostase page.
