Audiophile? Getting there
We all know a thicker belt will make it run faster correct? When i say thicker i dont mean top to bottom. I mean the thickness of the belt itself. Obviously a thicker belt will make these tables run faster. Its unfortunate that all ebayers sell the thicker belt only. Ive bought them all, so i know. So, you think you have the right belt, and you test speed, to find out it usually runs at a constant 34.0 RPM's. Or, you can move the capstan down and let it sit at the top of the lip and it'll usually slow speed down, but you'll get noise due to the belt rubbing the selector switch. There is also the shaving of the capstan (which ruins it). You can also put tape around the platter. These to me are all just band aids. I searched high and low for the right belt, and finally i found it. Sits on the middle of the capstan, speed is dead on 33 1/3. By the way, your table isn't supposed to run fast by design like some have said in the past. The PL-41 & PL-50 are supposed to have a belt thats supposed to be the correct thickness and it'll run on perfect speed. Im now fully enjoying my PL-41 & 50 tables.
