The wow factor

摘要

I read your review of the Clearaudio Performance turntable [HFN, June '09]. I use the Performance myself. To obtain optimal wow, flutter and speed deviation specs the distance between the spindle and motor pulley is important. Because I don't have measuring equipment I'd like to know the optimal distance between the spindle and centre motor pulley. I have noticed that if the motor is positioned further away from the spindle the sound becomes a little tighter but it's less smooth.
