Hi everyone. So glad I found this forum. Had a good lookaround and saw a whole number of great threads and info so looks like it is well worth signing up to. Reckon I'll be in here quite a lot from now...
I have an issue with my Systemdek IIX900 tha hopefully someone may be able to help with...
spec - standard motor. RB300 tonearm mounted on the square port of the deck (not the older styled teardrop shaped one). 1 inch acrylic platter (i think that's what it is anyway - bought it 2nd hand. It is definitely NOT the standard half inch glass one....)
It is basically running a little slow. To the average listener, it is not noticeable, but when you play a particular song on vinyl and then play the CD straight after it, the difference is most definitely there. It is nothing drastically bad but I would guess that it is maybe running at 1 or 2 rpm slower than it should. Being a musician and having near perfect pitch makes me notice these things too...
There are no speed adjustments on the deck as the speed is changed by moving the belt under the platter. I was wondering if perhaps removing the whole sub chassis and re-fitting it would help? Perhaps there is some amount of pull frmo the motor to the platter causing it to slow down?
I also have the issue listed elsewhere regarding the belt slipping off when you move it from 33rpm to 45 but I find that by physically pressing down the platter slightly after re-locating the belt to the gear, it allows the belt to settle into place before putting the platter back on.
Any help and advice with the speed issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all in advance.
PT.
