I use a Walker on my Lenco, and all my other turntables (4) are vintage Japanese direct-drive types which have internal speed control mechanisms of one kind or another. So I feed the DD turntables good old 120V/60Hz, or 100V/60Hz from a step-down transformer for those built to the Japanese standard. My P300 is, however, one of the later ones that would allow adjustment of frequency, up to a point. (I thought it worked in 5-Hz increments, but I have never played with that adjustment.)

Mine goes from 50-120 one Hz at a time. 120 really widens and focuses the image and it's easy to notice the life lost if you will if the power gets interrupted where it resets to 60.

if only because so many report a positive result. (The "idea" being to raise the AC frequency from 60 to 120Hz.) Is there something magical about doubling the frequency from 60 to 120, or do you hear a gradual improvement if you increase the frequency in small jumps, stopping at 120? And on what types of gear? (preamplifier, cdp, etc)
Thanks.

I imagine it increases little by little. Much easier to hear when you jump from 60-120.
Again these are subtle but pretty easy to hear. I get the best improvement in image which I consider the final frontier if you will in sound improvement.
