Test record dilema

That is why I mentioned SpectraLab. If OP can find a copy, this would be the best option.

It is now called SpectraPlus since it was taken over by Pioneer Hill software and is a little expensive.

I have it along with some others.

McAfee reported a Trojan horse as soon as I reached their home page. Better not to go there unless you really know what you're doing :nono:

Wow, that is not good.

The last time I went to their home page it was OK.

I just tried it and I too received a warning and my software blocked the site.

I wonder what is up with that?

Thanks for the heads up.

I may use my risk it all laptop, the one that only has the OS and browser on it so it is easy to fix if contaminated and go the site and see if I can contact them and see what is going on. They used to be a respectable company.
 
Yes, sorry for being the bringer of bad news. I tried to send them a mail via the "contact us" link but that too brings a Trojan. Since you have the app, is it possible that you have a direct mail? That should be a safe way to pass the message.
 
Hey guys,

I just got off of the phone with the SpectrPlus people and they were not aware of any issues.

I mentioned that McAfee and Avast had found a trojan.

The gentleman on the phone installed Avast while I was on the phone with him and he saw the problem and is going to look into it.

He took the issue very seriously.

So, we shall see.
 
OK, I just tried the SpectraPlus link and it seems to be working.

Here is the link if anyone would like to try it.

SPECTRAPLUS-SC

It might have been some dirty code on their web page.

Like I said, the young man on the phone said they would look into it right away.

BTW, I have not affiliation with this company.

This software has a 30 day free trial.
 
I have apparently confused someone...

There were posts about real time analyzers and I posted about one and was informed that the link was giving an indication of a trojan. So I called the company and let them know and now the link seems to be working.

Okay, So I replaced the one I had because it was warped with one from needledoctor

http://www.needledoctor.com/Ultimate-Analogue-Test-LP

Great stuff..very detailed...except...it requires meters or an oscilloscope to read !!! I don't know how to use this album and it is vague on instructions.

like when it says the AC millivolt meter should stay constant across all frequencies (in one of the tests)...Okay..WHERE the HELL would I hook a meter ?

Or using an IMD tester. Or oscilloscope.

From the front it appears designed for turntables. On the rear it says it is designed to calibrate a turntable or cutting lathe....Geeze...it should have come with equipment...

Another 40 bucks wasted....:tears:

I use this for drift and W&F.

I've monitored wow with a HP 5210A Frequency Meter/Discriminator. Old tech and cheap but not so easy to find.

I use a proper W&F meter for that, a Philips PM 6307 bought dirt cheap on ebay. W&F meters show up there on a regular basis, it's probably the way to go for those who are not allergic to old fashioned analogue equipment ;)

And what is this? Your attached thumbnail doesn't show anything.

Strange you can't see the pic. But it is a Leader LFM-39A Wow&Flutter meter.

Do others see the pic of the LFM 39A, just curious.

I don't see the pic either.

I'd be interested in getting a W&F meter via ebay, but was wondering about calibration and accuracy of what I'm likely to find. I've bought plenty of test equipment online, incl an HP 5383a frequency counter, Sencore SG165 AM/FM analyzer, and a nice HP AC millivolt meter, among (too many) others. The frequency counter and millivolt meter were easy to check their accuracy comparing to known calibrated sources/meters, and the Sencore has very thorough calibration instructions. How about the W&F meters we're likely to find? Does your Leader come with calibration instructions?
