    Pitch Issues - Need Advice

    Two weeks ago, I found this neat vintage media console at a resale shop for $100. As a complete novice, l've spent hours and hours researching and tinkering to get the turntable from completely locked up to spinning and playing music ("sound" is probably the more accurate word here). When I...

    Reverberation and pitch

    This might seem a bit off the wall -- ahem, so to speak -- but it's been bugging me for a while. I'm listening to acoustic music recorded in a concert hall, typically classical. The last chord is played, the musicians stop, and it's time for that glorious moment when the reverberations slowly...

    Music and memory

    I had an odd little epiphany tonight. Listening to a newly acquired CD of the Beethoven Eroica symphony (#3) while doing some dishes, somewhere in the first movement I stopped dead and asked, "where's the dip?" What was missing was a mastering defect that had long been engraved in my head as...

    Modern vs the Classics: Is speed control needed these days?

    So I currently have an LP-60. I know its not a great unit and have been in the process of upgrading. Right now I the speed is off to where I can completely tell that the pitch of the song is off without any reference. So now that led me down the path of looking at turntables that strictly have...

    MK5 pitch light issue

    I purchased an MK5, but I think I realized a new problem with it. When you adjust the pitch slider to zero, should the green light illuminate? It will light up when the reset button is pressed, but the light stays off when the slider itself is zero... is this normal operation?

Just the other day the dial that controls the pitch will not maintain a consistent speed and it is as though there is no "zero" or correct spot where the...

    Pitch control knob stuck on Thorens TD 520s

    I just acquired a Thorens TD 520s yesterday. All 3 speeds (33, 45, 78) work and are spot on with the on board strobe. As I am planning to do preservation work on older discs with the 520, I need to be able to adjust the speed manually. Pitch is supposed to be adjustable +/- 6% on this unit...
