+1 on the RPM Speed and Wow app I used it on my TT and it registered 33.35 and I compared it to my $15.00 laser RPM meter that big_greg mentioned and that registered 33.29 so between the 2 I should be pretty close and my Acoustic Solid 111 Metal keeps it constant, I check it once a month and for 11 months no variation from my base line readings.
Measuring turntable speed
Happy Holidays everyone! This has probably been discussed before but I'm of the age that makes me a bit of a Luddite. I have a VPI Scout and SDS. I use "The Ultimate Analogue Test LP" to play the test tone and (at least I used to) the app Dr. Fridrekson(??) had other there. It mysteriously disappeared from my iPad and I can't find it anywhere. What are you using? Thanks!

All the strobe things is what they are. But it lacks the resolution 3150 Hz (number/second) of and the industry standard of DIN IEC 386 (formerly DIN 45507). Like the "Feickert Platter speed" app. I it is not in android app store (or Apple store). I just downloaded the app from here and side loaded it on android. (It side steps security so there is a risk. But you all have a old android phone laying around that can be used for this highly important task! ;) It will cost you $0.) https://apkpure.com/platterspeed-vinyl-tool/ch.progtec.PlatterSpeed Not just it has better resolution and graphs it also do the measurements exactly as when you are playing a record. With the mass from it and you can use the clamp you usually use. And with the stylus in the groove with its tiny drag. 👍 In comparison I have never played a record with a phone on the platter. I see those low resolution apps more like a party trick and nothing when I want accuracy and the speed fluktration. (But that is maybe just me) Just a discarded android phone and a record with a 3150 Hz track and you are done. |
