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.
Get the ap "RPM" on your phone. It measures platter speed and wow +flutter. It will definitaly tell you if you have a problem. @lewm , The Roadrunner is excellent. You can see exactly what your turn table is doing as far as speed is concerned but, It will not give you a wow+flutter spec. It measures speed based on one entire revolution. You might see it if the wow + flutter is really bad. |
