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.

I have an Orbe with the AC motor. Get one of these for $25.

It's cheap and you can run a LP with it to see if indeed you are running slow. Usually as a belt gets older it starts to shrink or harden and it causes the TT to run a bit fast. I used the Wally tools to test speed but the LP had a slight warp in it and caused a error in the read so I bought a laser photo tach and it worked great. If you can adjust your PSU your better off than me. The QC PSU has no voltage adj., so the motor pulley is what really decides your speed. I have two and one runs a bit slower than the other.
I agree that other things may be at work but it should show up on more than just a few LP's no matter what the cause unless its in the LP(?)
