I could not believe my strobe was that far off until I used the Sutherland Timeline. In combination with my SDS to adjust the speed everything now sounds correct. Best of Luck
Speed Control
I've had a Classic 3 for about 1 1/2 years. When I first bought it, I used the KAB strobe to determine it was running spot on 33 1/3 RPM.
Recently I added an SDS. At 60hz it was running fast. With the SDS adjusted to 59.81hz, it runs at 33 1/3 RPM. Any ideas on the impact of -.19hz difference in speed?
At the correct speed it has a much wider soundstage. It sounds like it is playing in a room much larger than my actual room. I have a lot of acoustical room treatment (absorption and diffusion) so that my contribute to the difference.
My system is Benz LP (re-tipped) > Classic 3 > Sutherland Hubble > VK32SE > VK75SE > Eggleston Rosa. I use the record clamp and ring.
