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.
The P2's performance could possibly be significantly improved by replacing the plastic subplatter. But it's $220. Perhaps not worth it. https://groovetracer.com/subplatter_groovetracer.htm That was my experience with a P5. The Asylum forum may have additional insight. You might find info of a less expensive alternative.
