checking platter speed


Two questions:

1) How can I be sure that my platter is rotating at the correct speed?

2) If my platter is not rotating at the correct speed, how do I remedy this?

I have a Clearaudio Emotion turntable.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'll second the KAB Speed Strobe. I use on on my Galibier and really like it. Remember, anytime you check the speed be sure to have the stylus tracking in as dynamic a passage of music you have.

As far as what you may be able to do if your table is a bit off, that's a bit tougher. You may be able to play with the belt tension, and maybe even material, to improve things if the speed is not off too much.
