| A pitch too High! @mijostyn Even I cannot tell, as the distortion seems to come from both the speakers. I am finding it hard to tell the difference. By the ‘slow drift test’ you mean the tone arm drifting towards the spindle after the track is over? Well that happe... | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn if you could look at the tests I have conducted after getting the HiFi News test record. Please do let me know if something is not right. The video links may not be working above so here they are again: Side 1 | Band 6: Side... | |
| A pitch too High! Once I got the HiFi News test record, I did everything all over again before I played the Hifi news record. Please do let me know what you guys feel. Turntable Balance: https://imgur.com/39waY4N Test done with the paper disc that comes with the... | |
| A pitch too High! @atmasphere No worries. Thank you for your help. @goofyfoot This gets a little confusing as somewhere above in this thread, somebody suggested I keep the counter-weight end 7-9mm above the cartridge. This link was given to me as advice https:/... | |
| A pitch too High! @atmasphere @chakster Why do you guys want me to buy a new Grado stylus. Are you assuming the stylus may be damaged? A few bounces across a record can damage a stylus is it. ? Thought it was made of tougher stuff. Though sound wise I don't have an... | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn I doubt it. It reads the 5gm weight perfectly. I think there's a difference in the height it measures it at. @atmasphere What should one look for? | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn I bought myself a Clearaudio Smart Gauge, which worked perfectly. I measured a VTF of 1.5 and one turn counterclockwise Anti-skate from its original 2.4g position. Everything sounds sweet, with no distortion on highs. I don’t think it’s ... | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn I could hear it coming out of both left and right! | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn So I did as suggested. It took counterclockwise two turns and one-fourth to reach the correct AS for 1.5g. Less was making the tonearm go out of the record and more made it travel towards the spindle. I might have damaged the record too ... | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn Thanks for the recommendation of cartridges. Next month I am planning to pull the trigger on SME 12A. Maybe I'll use the Goldring 1042 with that. I am going to take care of the Concept VTF and AS on Sunday. Hopefully I'll get it right. | |
| A pitch too High! This is the response I got from Stefan of Clearaudio:Here is how I recommend to proceed to completely re-set the anti-skating position of the magnetic bearing tonearm (“0”):- Demount the cartridge- Adjust the counterweigh... | |
| A pitch too High! I just came across this:https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/needle-sliding-across-my-records.414567/In the relevant post, this is what the OP says about Clearaudio AS:Thanks to all for your input to this problem. Turns out my VTF was way on the... | |
| A pitch too High! @dalims4 Yes I read this post a while back. I have even ordered a Clearaudio Smart Scale which I think is made of cardboard. I also understand that he wants me to add 1.2g to the 1.5g stated by Grado for Blue before I adjust the anti-skate. Howeve... | |
| A pitch too High! @mijostyn While what you sounds absolutely correct, the MM V2 cartridge before I damaged it was working fine, or at least I thought so. This pitch issue started when the Grado came in. However, what explains the change of pitch after RPM adjustmen... | |
| A pitch too High! @sandstone So I managed to fiddle with the RPM adjustments at the back of the turntable. I got it as close as I could to 33.33 and 45. Images below:https://imgbox.com/opqkwN6Thttp:// https://imgbox.com/xnAeQyBUThis has drastically changed the soun... |
