Measure My Turntable Speed

Why worry about $90 bucks when entry level carts cost $1,500 a pop to strain gauges $6G to $14G. Even if your a Grado moving iron type the KAB is easy to use with repeatable results. Should you be happy with your speed system so be it. Most of the time record care and reasonably good AC sources resolve most speed issues. Record care ? A clean recording spins well and has less grunge , a "mother's helper" to the ears.

"Reasonably good Ac sources" is to be understood as line controllers; VPI, ProJect, Walker,etc. "AC sources" also includes dedicated lines for analog, pre-amp , amp & speakers should they have active AC sources. In this situation one hand washes the other. If you are 'ol school and are agast at those recommendations, no problem. But turntable speed is a measure of many things , not soley lights and paper rings.

It all depends on money...What you have spent and what you intend to spend in the future. The KAB is one of the greatest inexpensive tweaks on the analog market. Anybody who is interested in analog can not be without a KAB. Analog is a comittment and part of that means you and what you will do to listen to the music, less pops and clicks and speed changes. All the best.

Personally, I don't get it. A Kab is relatively inexpensive yet most of you want to rally around a light and cardboard. Go for it .

Thanks for jarring my memory, now I remember why I bought a VPI speed controller and a KAB. Stop watches ?? To each there own ... All the best.
