Michell Gyro Se running a little slow


I have noticed that some songs sound slower off my table than they should. This is most evident on Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, Simon & Garfunkel's Cecelia and The Smiths' Frankly, Mr Shankly. Most of the time, the difference is not noticeable, but on some songs I can pick it up. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have the external power supply but am not sure if that is the issue.

Get the KAB speedstrobe or another strobe and check the speed. Since you have the HR Power supply it's easy enough to adjust it. My Gyrodec was running about 1% fast prior to adjustment. But I never had a wow-flutter problem.

So, as has been mentioned:
--Make sure bearing is lubed and clean
--Clean your belt
--Clean the pulley an the groove on the platter
--check speed with strobe (you can also use a generic strobe disk from Vinyl Engine, with an incandescent light. Just not as accurate and a little hard to see)
--Try with the standard power supply to see if you have the same problem/issue
--Grab a piano album and make sure the notes don't sound 'sour' or vary during sustained notes
