Measuring Turntable Platter Speed
I have an older Rega P2 that seems to warble (for lack of a better word) when playing. It's not that it's fast or slow, but I can hear slight, quick, pitch changes when playing a record. I put a new belt on, but no change.
Is there a method or relatively inexpensive instrument that I could use to monitor small fluctuations in platter speed?
Thanks in advance - Jim S.
I use the Clearaudio strobe disc. I think it is somewhat expensive, but you can use either side, one for standard household lights, or the other side with the optional Clearaudio strobe meter, which is definitely expensive. https://elusivedisc.com/clearaudio-stroboscopic-speed-test-record-strobe-disc-180g-lp/ |
