RE: Froze My TT Drive Belt

The answer to both of your questions is "yes."

Stylus drag seems to slow down the platter on my Sota Millennia by just under 0.03%. As the record plays, the platter recovers ⅔ of its lost speed. In terms of RPM, this equates to a slow-down of approximately 0.01-RPM and a recovery of approximately 0.007-RPM. Therefore, I try to set platter speed to 33.340-RPM without a record playing. It will slow down to approximately 33.330-RPM when the stylus is placed on the outer groove and then speed back up to about 33.337-RPM by the end of the record.

Best regards,
John Elison
