Turntable Speed

Tried the app. I get 33.39-33.41 on my Pioneer PL-630.

ibmjunkman -- Thirty-three-and-a-fourth. Scandalous!

@edcyn:

If the speed is way off, you should maybe buy another turntable with speed adjustment possibility. 

@ibjunkman:

I have never tried it on 78. Your iPhone would probably stay unharmed and on the platter if you laid it close to the center of the platter.

I really don´t understand your objection- would you rather not know if your turntable speed is way off?
The RPM app is just a simple and reliable way of knowing if your turntable operates at the right speed.
What could possibly be wrong with that? IMO it´s a basic parameter when playing vinyl.

If the speed is off then the pitch will be wrong. Especially noticeable on piano. Generally there are speed adjustments on motors, usually screws on the plinth under the platter. Sometimes you will see colored paint on the screws to mark their settings. They adjust the tilt of the motor and how the belt rides on the pulley which can adjust the speed. This along with a new oem belt and proper lubrication will usually correct speed problems.
