Hello all out there!
Hopefully someone will be able to clear my doubts...
I know that linear tracking TTs are mostly for freaks like me and that since there are no good methods of taking care of the LINEAR tracking part, the industry has given up on them...except for Clear Audio´s really expensive arms...
I personally love the sound of my TT but it has always had this nagging defect:
you can see it in the waves when I rip any album, it seems it either goes towards the inside or it is dragged from the outside and it makes this low frequency noise/thump once every revolution which I have to EQ from quiet passages.
Now, I think that my TT´s arm is moved through a servo motor but that´s as far as I go.
I have 2 other exact TTs in Madrid, (I got 2 so I could use one for parts) so my question is:
is this a "manufacturing/impossible to solve problem" or would it go away if I change the belt that is used???
I had my other 2 TTs in Madrid serviced by Panasonic/Technics personnel when I got them originally but it somehow still made that noise (I guess in a way this MAY answer my question but I will never know if the folks ACTUALLY changed the belt)...
This is the Vinyl Engine page where anyone (OK, you have to sign up but it´s free) can look up the user guide and schematics for this TT in case someone is willing to give me a hand...granted, I know a lot of you are a bunch of wizards (I am NOT!) and in case anyone can actually help out I will gladly ship this and pay for the upgrade...
Thanks in advance!
