In Reply to: RE: Technics SL-1200G vs Continum Caliburn & SAT Arm posted by vinyl survivor on February 01, 2017 at 17:19:14
The first track sounds best to me and I believe it is the Continuum. The second track has a lot of groove noise and pitch issues. I don't know if the pitch control on the Technics is reason for the pitch issues but the control lever it is not set at "zero" but instead a notch or two below zero. I hear a slow wah, wah on the second cut, perhaps due to the pitch control setting? Regardless, I prefer the first cut but wonder if the Technics pitch control is a factor. Anyone?

You obviously don't own a Technics SL-1200. The pitch control has to be set at zero in order for the light next to it to be on. If it were set anywhere other than zero, the light would be off. The light indicates the speed is quartz locked at 45-rpm. You can prove this to yourself by timing platter revolutions.

OK, OK, I do own an SL1200 M5g and obviously don't know exactly how the pitch control works because my good buddie, Alex Peychev of APL HiFi disabled it in addition to placing the power supply outboard among a couple other mods. I will check mine to see if at zero, the light is on. If not I'll have another Scotch and forget all about it. :-)
