Techinics Sp-10 Mk2a break-in period

There is ZERO break in on these parts, think about it, your table either hold speed or it does not.

Norm,

Absolutely no question that replacing 30 year old electrolytic capacitors is a great idea - however the "break-in" of these will have no effect on the tables speed stability. As far as bearing breaking in , as Lewm puts it going form "no noise" to "even less noise" will probably have very negligible effect also :-)

In addition to the GrooveMaster Vintage Direct I've also been working a little on the SP10Mk2 and have made a completely new stand alone power supply for these should anyone be interested.

Geoff,

No audio signal passes through the power supply and control system of turntable motor system - its ONLY task is to maintain the correct speed.

Good Listening,

Peter

Hello Dave,

I got mine without a power supply, so I had to make one, actually I'm making five of them, so I have a few extra. Is it better than the original ? I don't know, what I do know is, that is ridiculously overbuilt as almost anything we make :-)

Any power cord with sufficient gauge and good connectors will suffice - if anyone can "hear" a difference with a PC in this particular position I'd state that it is imagined - however to some perception is reality, this is clearly not me.

Good listening

Hello Norm,

IEC socket, and yes I do use various power cords - although I'm not subscribing to the theory that power cords make all that of a difference. As previously stated as long as the power cord is of sufficient gauge and the connectors / outlets are of a substantial quality, there is very little if any difference.

Good listening
