Wow I just got the KAB strobe

What a difference a little fine tuning can do. I just got it today and set up was a snap. Just pointed the laser and the numbers popped out. Tweaked about 5 mins with my TT motor. I put on a record and it never sounded better. All the instruments in perfect pitch. I put on an old record. Bellamy Brothers Let your love flow. Well why that one you ask. The guitar can be heard out of pitch very easily. It sounded perfect.

Thanks for the additional tips on using the KAB with a record and clamp attached; that would create additonal drag. I will try it today and see if I can get it even closer to the correct rotation speed.

Hifimaniac, my Shindo/Garrard 301 needs two different corrections for 33.3 and 45. Initially, I failed to mark them, but I could immediately hear that 33.3 set at the 45 speed adjustment was wrong. Depending on the mass of the platter, the music might affect the turn table's speed, but I prefer to keep it as set for the maximum benefit.

I doubt if the KAB is better than others, but it certainly is easy to use.

TBG, thanks for your note. I have the SDS speed stabilizer for my VPI and the good news is that I can set each speed separately for 33.3 and 45; which I did with a record and arm and cartridge playing and it did get the speed set more accurately. You learn something new everyday!
