Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Feb 11, 2023 19:16Right. And I'm about to throw in the towel trying to get the volume of the leakage and reference tones to match exactly. Using a tiny bubble level so I could see what I was doing, I would go ever-so-slightly too far in o…

Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Feb 8, 2023 17:20And next up, I'd like to adjust tonearm parallelism. I've got the manual but haven't figured out where the adjustment screws are. Can somebody tell me? Ah. A repairman clued me in. All good. Need to loosen the circled bi…
Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Jan 30, 2023 18:48Yes. Fortunately, speed is easily adjusted. Below are the w/f results logged after belt replacement. I can live with (more of less) .2 w/f. 3151.8 0.0778 0.1964 3144.6 0.0807 0.1964 3154.6 0.0900 0.1964 3143.2 0.0892 0.1…

Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Jan 27, 2023 20:48I added a drop of oil to the motor, but found w/f slightly increased (as measured with my heavy phone running the RPM app). Stay tuned.

in BeoGram · Jan 27, 2023 14:26Interesting! Can you post your w/f measurement after lubrication? I just popped off the pully and applied some oil. Let's see what happens! (Will measure later.)
Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Jan 18, 2023 20:49So... three things I've done: Ordered a replacement belt from Beoparts. Downloaded WFGUI and experimented with it a bit. (Lots of 3150hz test tones out there, by the way.) Ordered the Stereo Review Test Record (vintage 1…
Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Jan 18, 2023 19:05Yes, I've found that the TX2 is especially sensitive to weight, but anecdotally, not so much the 1700. In fact, the 1700 seemed to hum along quite nicely even when I put a substantial 370g record weight on it, just as a …
Beogram 1700 adjusments - wow and flutter parallelism speed
in BeoGram · Jan 18, 2023 04:56Hi - I recently acquired a Beogram 1700 and have noted audible (though subtle) speed variation. With an app, I was able to confirm excellent speed accuracy (33.33 in a measurement taken today) but w/f is problematic, com…

Audio Origin Retip or Soundsmith New?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 30, 2022 19:23Update: I went with Audio Origin, received my rebuilt MMC20EN a few days ago, and couldn't be more pleased. It sounds fantastic and I feel like I made an excellent choice. See below the specs/description of my purchase, …
Audio Origin Retip or Soundsmith New?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 18, 2022 16:29Yes. I had an SMMC1 that, even after some years of use, remained too bright/harsh for my ears. When I mentioned this to Peter Ledermann, he suggested a custom rebuild with a Boron cantilever and low mass CL stylus. Went …

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 16, 2022 06:51Hi - Does anyone have any experience with retipping performed by Audio Origin in the UK? (https://www.audio-origin.co.uk/) I've just acquired a Beogram 1700 w/the original MMC20EN and need to get a second cart. Need to d…
TX2 troubleshooting inconsistent play response
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 16, 2021 15:15Hi. I've got a TX2 where some unwanted friction (or stickiness) somewhere is making me have to press PLAY several times before the table responds as designed. I've tried lubricating everything the manual recommends, but …
TX2 record weight detector problem
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 16, 2021 15:15Hi. I've got a TX2 where the record weight detector mechanism in the center of the platter is misbehaving. At the beginning of the day, when I first operate the turntable, I have to press the play button 3 or 4 times bef…
TX2 front panel "Play" - proper functioning question
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 19, 2021 14:18Hi - I've got two TX2 tables, the front panel play function is not the same on both. On one of them (Type: 5913, SN: 05862793), the button works this way: You press it once and play starts; if you press it multiple times…
TX2 - Front "Play" button problem
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 18, 2021 20:58For anybody else who might experience this problem, the fix was incredibly simply. I found that the tape covering the switch had broken through in a couple of spots. Replacing the tape made the problem go away.
TX2 - Problems with tonearm return
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 17, 2021 13:29My recently-acquired TX2 continues to surprise. From time to time the tonearm "struggles" to return after reaching the end of a record. I hear a prominent noise as the tonearm begins a slower than normal return and then …
