Pitch problem. Help

Hi folks,

Thanks very much for the advice. I did a bit of research on the Project speed box. The price is certainly right. I'm not optimistic, though, that it'll work with the Goldring table. I'll call musicdirect tomorrow and see. I'm definitely lookng for a cheap solution here. If I have to spend more than $100 or so, I'd almost rather just get a new table.

Is a speed controller helpful for any table, even more expensive ones? If so, it might be a good long-term investment.

Patrick: this is indeed a belt drive, but the belt is positioned correctly and looks fine.

Also, I'm going through a Shunyata power conditioner. Just FYI.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Interesting, Stefan. As it stands, everything is on the power conditioner. I'll try plugging the amp into the wall tonight, though I'm not so keen on giving up the surge protection.

I just called the Project people, and I can't use the speed box because the Goldring uses a captured power cord. That's probably going to prevent me from using any of these speed regulators. Too bad...

Hi all,

Thanks again for the advice. I've noticed now that the speed problem is greatly alleviated late at night, though it's never perfect. This leads me to believe that crappy power is indeed the culprit. Since my TT has a captive power cord, I'll live with it for now. I'll be upgrading to a VPI Scout or something of similar caliber within the next few months.

Another question about the Goldring, though: about half the time when I turn off the motor, I get a loud pop through my speakers. This can't be good... What's causing this, and how can I make it stop? It only happens about half the time, and it's totally random.

Thanks again.
