RE: slow turntable?

You mentioned that the Pro-Ject is fairly new...did this table replace another table and if so did that table's speed seem okay? As you probably already know two separate turntables turning at exactly 33.3 RPM can often times sound different. One reason may be due to what Rega likes to call PRaT (pace, rhythm and timing) which can manifest itself in one table seeming to sound faster (or slower) than the other one...some Rega owners have suggested that the extra snap you often get with a Rega table is due to its platter speed being a bit fast, others suggest it is due to other reasons (damping characteristics of the table) Also if you have changed other components in your system, for example going from a SS amp or phono stage to a tube unit, this may account for part of what your are hearing. I have also noticed that some cables (both speaker and ICs) can have an impact on how things sound including a system's perceived quickness. Anyway, these are just suggestions you might want to consider if the more obvious reasons for your concerns aren't corrected by some of the very good suggestions you have already received.

E.R.E.
