Turntable speed accuracy
Sometimes threads do accidentally get 'wiped' by an administrator.It's happened to me twice and when I contacted A'Gon ........they retrieved them.Have you tried that?

Tony,The TT-101 does in fact reach its correct speed within a revolution as seen on the Timeline.The actual specification states that 'starting time' is within 0.6sec.Starting torque: 1.2Kg/cmSpeed deviation: 0.002%Drift: 0.0004%There appears to b...

Thanks Dover, Chris, Thuchan & Banquo,I appreciate your encouragement :^)...... John Gielgud (blush).Dover is from New Zealand.....so of course I sound like an orator to him:^)I was going to follow up with a video of the Raven AC-3 under test....

Your accent doesn't come through in the posts here. Accent??........I have an accent??!

Tonywinsc,Your explanation makes a lot of sense to me....especially with my experiences with DD turntables compared to belt drive.I'll try your experiment with the one revolution......although I'm not quite sure what it proves?

Chris,Your wish is my command :-)Please forgive the amateurish state of the movie but it was taken on my iphone4.....my first film..... and my first upload to utube!TT-101

My point is that inertia has to be addressed at the outset of a turntable's design, and that electronic speed control merely augments it.Mosin, as inertia is directly related to mass and friction.....are you saying that heavy platters have inhere...

Dear Thuchan,The Victor TT-101 is quartz controlled direct drive and automatically runs at a true 33.3rpm or 45rpm.It has pitch adjustment in 6hz increments in both positive and negative direction.....but I never use this feature.The servo control...

on all my TTs I experience a change in speed when the needle hits the record. Thuchan,On my TT-101 there is zero speed change when the cartridge hits the record. Even with the low compliance heavy tracking XV-1s and FR-7f. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Greetings Rnadell,I have 6 of the Yamamoto HS-1as which is simply my favourite headshell except with wood-bodied cartridges.Having the cartridge leads hard-wired to the shell removes another 'connection' point in the analogue chain and the wiring ... 
RFI from steel TV bracket?
I still think there is a possibility that the interconnects that go from the preamp to the amp my not be shielded enough for the new environment. That was my initial thought which is why I wrapped them in aluminium foil which reduced the hum some...

I didn't count the screws on the Timeline Thuchan because I thought.......although they supply a Hex bolt with it.........someone is really saying "don't open this!" :^)How does the Criterion stack up with the Timeline? That would be interesting t... 
RFI from steel TV bracket?
When I unplug the output from the pre-amp......the hum is still coming from the speaker.But when I unplug the input to the amp (with the output still connected to the preamp)......the hum disappears :^)If you're right.......any solutions other tha...

What *other* changes did you do?No other changes :^) 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul,Nothing ever goes wrong with the DM-58 monoblocks except for their stupid 'air-switch' to turn it on.Instead of a normal on/off switch that millions of electronic items have successfully used for decades, Halcro decided to develop a shma...
