Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45


I have a brand new AS table and when I press the button to go from 33.3 to 45, the LED start flashings but when it stops flushing the speed is still 33.3. Then if I turn the table off, and the back on the speed comes up to 45rpm.

The same is true if I want to go back to 33.3.

I have 4 other turn tables, AMG Viella Forte, Bergmann Galder, SME - 30/2A, and an Air Force III Premium, all of then reach the selected speed without having to turn it off.

Is having to turn on-off-on to change the speed a normal behavior for an Acoustic Signature?

thank you

I hold the button, the LED blinks and then it settles to solid LED. I contacted AS directly and they responded immediately.

It is not normal :)

Thanks

Weird.  I hope they help you get that taken care of.  Nice to see they were quick to respond!

Oh POO!. That's no good. I think it is hitting the right speed though.  That is why the light blinks and when it stops it's the correct speed.

Speed control isn't for playback anyways. It's for using a TT as a source and recording from it.. The only real reason to get picky about speed.

That's why there is always a strobe on a broadcast/transcription turntable, they are made to record FROM... Washing machine motors help too. :-)
