Test LP group buy

I cannot get anything on the Drive link.
I there a geographical restriction on this?

The extra noise will confuse the PLL in the W&F meter. ... I have seen service shops put a box on a turntable they were testing to generate drag from windage.

Dynamic drag. Interesting to see what happens when the load noise keys on or off.

3150Hz mono, then the load noise in one or both channels, and perhaps with a wide notch around 3150Hz. So you have two ways for separating the speed signal from the noise prior to analysis.

IIRC, that was discussed early on, or maybe in the speed stability thread. Seems like a useful signal, even if it proves there is no drag.

There shouldn’t be any restriction.

You may need a gmail account to make comments or additions.

PM me if you still are having issues.

There is no "Sign-Up" on the page I get.

Thanks very much lcsaszar.

That's a different link to the one Pano gave. My name is on the list (I wanted to check, as I wasn't sure the last time I accessed it, I'd successfully added my name).

Regards,
Andy

 

[Pano]

Hmmm, strange. I'll have to check my link. Maybe it linked to my google drive instead of the Test LP drive.

um.. I don't know if I missed it, but how much is the kilo price on vinyl under this thread?

Looks like we hit that "silent track" .......

It's well known that all discussions, parties, in fact all processes have 1/f noise.

It is very late here but I have been spinning some wax, it was a Miles Davis night. I just love "A Tribute to Jack Johnson".

I'm hoping to see some forward movement. I love the idea, need the test LP and really want to start using one.

Let's go over the current playlist this week to see if there is anything missing, anything redundant.

We still have no good answer for hole centering.

 

[Hearinspace]

I was surprised to read that Lp's can be off center on one side only. Maybe the route is to ask the best mastering engineers where they would send a job focused on mechanical precision.

 

[Pano]

Yes indeed. That is one of the question we ask of the mastering house.

That one works for me too. I do have a gmail account and tried to use it on Panos link

re-read some older hifi magazines, with some folks from the pressing plants quoted that "180gram is a waste of resource, no advantage there. In fact, warpage as as bad for 180gram than for pretty much any other weight. For sound quality, no difference" was noted.
Different story for 45rpm though - this was considered "significantly better (not surprisingly), if good quality vinyl was used. "Coarse" grains of vinyl have a tendency to increase background noise."

So, if there is no difference, we might just as well go with 180gram, mechanical stability is a little higher..... thoughts?

 

[Hearinspace]

Another thought is that we should be able to make a certain level of accuracy a condition of the deal with the pressing plant. In looking around it's clear that are a lot of complaints about poor pressings in recent production and off centered lps one of the issues. It might be good pr for a plant to step up to the challenge. It's not like they have no competition.
