(the force gauge can be used to fine tune your turntable at a later time)ġ) Balance the arm, remove the antiskate weight, be careful to not damage the stylus, remove the stylus guard Just setting it by the counterweight scale will be well within range. For the purpose of resolving the current issue, there is no need at this point to buy a tracking force gauge. The tracking force is set by movement of the counterweight (as you know) and the setting for your cartridge should be 1.5 to 1.8 grams. Oil from fingers on the belt/ pulley can cause erratic speed issues. I forgot to mention, wash hands very well before cleaning the belt and handling. Clean the platter ring too, where the belt drives it. Clean the pulley with isopropyl, a Q tip is best, allow to dry before replacing the belt. Look for anything stuck to it, maybe packaging tape. Stop the turntable, and inspect the pulley for any nicks. With the platter still removed, turn the turntable ON. Pour a little alcohol on the towel so it is nearly saturated, fold the towel between your fingers and pull the belt gently through. In the meantime, remove the platter, clean the belt with isopropyl alcohol. I’m in grad school I don’t have the money to step a class of record players.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, a vibrato sound is caused by flutter! The gradual slow down is a concern, maybe a defective power supply, maybe a contaminated belt. I’m wondering if returning the record player for the same one is going to help me if it’s a flutter problem if not are my alternatives. I’ll be honest I’m nitpicky I have good ear and actually care what my music sounds like. It was suggested that I borrow a stylist force gauge I don’t actually have that readily available however I do have the patience to keep adjusting it in minuscule amounts I think it helped a little but the problem is still present. I am not seeing any of my headshell bouncing side to side there’s a slight sway but it coincides with the turning of the record. Is flutter something that can be bad in one record player and good another record player of the same type? At some points I felt that the record has slowed down I’d say it’s a slight change pitch. Turntable was now on the floor with carpet for these tests are with no lid on, I would it sounds more like a vibrato which according to which according to you is flutter problem. I’m in grad school I don’t have the money to step a class of record players. Also has anybody else had problems with the project debut carbon lid touching the vinyl I am not using the lid because of this problem.Ĭlick to expand.I tried setting up the turntable again. It didn’t look like I scratch the vinyl and the cartridge looks straight but it’s hard to tell if it’s straight anything else in could be besides my cartridge. I should also mention I accidentally hit the counterweight while trying to use the tonearm lifter. I’ve tried taking the turntable and putting it on the ground thinking it might be vibration this did not help. It is kind of a jitter or quiver it’s particularly noticeable on slower and drawn out notes or voices originally I thought it might be my vinyl but I bought a brand-new Nora Jones album(think what you want about her music but it’s supposed to be a decent pressing and you can hear it on long notes compared the CD) I’m taking the project directly into the phono stage of a pioneer vsx-d603s it’s a midrange Pioneer receiver from 1994(I realize this is probably one of my weaker links) Into paradigm mini monitors v5 I also use AKG 702 headphones I get more quiver on the headphones than the speakers but the still present. I recently bought a project debut carbon DC a couple days ago and I am getting a quiver in my music.
