Michell Gyro Se running a little slow

I have noticed that some songs sound slower off my table than they should. This is most evident on Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, Simon & Garfunkel's Cecelia and The Smiths' Frankly, Mr Shankly. Most of the time, the difference is not noticeable, but on some songs I can pick it up. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have the external power supply but am not sure if that is the issue.

Do you have the stock power supply or the PSU upgrade? Both do have speed adjustments, but you have to open up the stock power supply to get to it. I use the Kab Speedstrobe to check my speed.

try another belt before you panic.

I have the PSU upgrade and I have not tampered with the speed on it yet. I think that might be the issue. As for the belt, the table is less than a year old, although it was a dealer demo, do you still think that could be the problem.
Thanks.

If you haven't cleaned the bearing & well and refilled it with the proper lube, that might help as well. Make sure it's smooth and free spinning.

I own a Gyro SE MK II , yes check the belt and Plato's suggestion for lube and clean free moving bearing before you panic. I noticed the same as you only on certain albums so got a new belt and that corrected it but I cleaned and relubed anyway. Also check that the belt is in the proper groove ON THE PLATTER as per the manual. Cheers
