So there's a lot of upgrade paths there.Music Cataloging at Yale ♪ Sound recording cataloging The VTA adjustment allows for a good choice of mats to sit on top of the turntable. The standard Technics RCA cable has a lot of room for improvement aswell. Origin Live make a range of arms, and KAB have a simple but effective fluid damper for the stock Technics arm. There are many excellent tonearms that can replace the stock Technics arm. It's a disastrous tone-arm to use under 3grams of tracking force. Most direct drive turntables Back in the 1970s there were some horrible direct drive decks (some even made by Technics!) and a lot of their bad reputation lives on today. Maybe not perfect, but good enough to be a DJ workhorse deck and (with a little tweaking) a decent hi-fi deck too. The Technics 1200/1210 series survived for so long because they get so many things so right. I just don't like the idea of spending a lot of money on something with a belt that is going to wear out, even if the needle wears out more often! I have heard lots of cheap/nasty belt drive decks (I'm the proud owner of one) and a few Linns and Regas, and there's a huge difference. Unless the platter has a lot of mass, it's perceptibly slower until the belt recovers. I haven't tested it myself (I don't have any high-end decks) but with most belt drive players, louder sections cause more stylus drag, which will slow down the record slightly. BD war, because there is so much misinformation and propaganda out there from manufacturers and biased reviewers. Let us not forget the vibration that direct drive causes I don't want to get into a DD vs. "is not possible to construct a 45 rpm ring at 50 Hz". According to that Wikipedia article, a strobo disc for 50Hz has to "cheat" with 44.77, because: Strobe spots are physical and don't have quantisation, so any speed can be drawn with it. Most direct-drive turntables have a Quartz generator for the motor and for the strobe light, so it's not depending on a perfect power supply.ġ6rpm Actually it's 16 and 2/3 -but I don't have any "16RPM" discs, and I've only ever seen one turntable in real life with 16/33/45/78 speeds.Įven the KAB "Broadcast Standard" update for the Technics 1200/1210 just adds 78RPM.Ĥ5rpm is actually about 44.77 Dr.SultanAszazin The flicker of your power grid's 50/60 Hz Careful if you rely on that: my wall sockets are giving me 49.9 Hz right now, and many utility companies won't guarantee an exact 50 or 60 hertz AC supply. says it was 78.26 or 77.92 RPM, depending on the power being 60Hz or 50Hz. It got much easier to standardise when electricity was commonly available. There wasn't really a standard RPM, and gramophones had a constantly variable speed control with 78RPM somewhere in the middle of the range.ħ8RPM was one of the first attempts at a standard, in 1925. Prior to electrical playback, turntables were either hand-cranked or turned by a spring and clockwork. Prior to 45RPM and 33.33333RPM being standardised, there wasn't really a standard speed. (but be sure to use a 50Hz version in Europe, and a 60Hz version in the USA) To adjust speed to the correct rpm -> either use the light&spots at the side of the platter so that the spots appear to stand still, or either use a speed adjustment plate (with stripes for every speed) and use it under electric (non-electronic or natural) light in the same way. Most probably, like with film (pelicule) in the early days there where also some exotic formats & speed which just never made it to a standard. ![]() Only 78rpm knows variations, such as 80rpm which also occurs sometimes. the difference is just too small (you will notice if you have to tune instruments to sounds on a record only) ![]() No record is cut at 33,000rpm (except if there are either errors, or it's either some special arty-farty decission that no one will ever notice. I always thought "33RPM" was just shorthand for 33 and 1/3 RPM.ġ6rpm (mostly used for speech only, like discs to learn language for instanceģ3 1/3rpm (as we know it from the majority of LP's)Ĥ5rpm (as we know it from the majority of 7" singles)ħ8rpm (as we know it from the great majority of shellacs) ![]()
