RE: Finally! Automatic Speed Control...

John,

Congrats on an interesting step. For me the best thing about this monitoring and correction is that is just one more thing I never have to think about. As the man said, "Just set it and forget it." So, for a bit over a year I've been able to obsess about everything else. Glad to know that the three phase motor is working well. Bill maintains it is better than the motors for which the Falcon was originally designed.

I was aware that the usual belt driven TT needed to be "warmed up" before reaching long term stability. It was HW who wrote in his user manuals that one should wait a time before doing "critical listening." I had no idea that it could take up to two hours. Most people wouldn't know for not many will have been using a Roadrunner without the accompanying PSU. Apparently running consistently slow or fast can affect some of those aspects of space and phase that we audiophiles covet. As usual, some will hear it; others may not.

Since there seem to be no more Eagles and there are still some Falcons remaining, potential buyers may wish to know that properly heat-sinked the Falcon can be used wih larger motors than the 5 watt motors for which the Falcon was "specified." A Google search will be helpful.

Regards,

Mel
