The U-turn gets good press for a very basic (almost crude) bare-bones entry-level turntable. The latter may be a big deal or a small one, depending on the magnitude of the variability and the tolerance of the listener. If the former, unless one has perfect pitch or if it's way off, it may be a total non-issue for any given individual. So - I don't know if the alleged speed issue with the U-turn is purported to be one of accuracy (the absolute value of the rotational velocity, how close to 33-1/3 rpm it is) or of precision (how much it varies from the mean value of its rotational velocity over time). While I have it listed, I might try to find another shop to get a 2nd opinion, but there aren't really a lot of options in New Orleans.įWIW, I think it's hard to evaluate stuff in the abstract, not to mention the notion of evaluating how something sounds based on published - or even measured - specifications (i.e., quantitative performance). Maybe someone with skills in this area will want to take it off my hands. I've got the X6 listed on Craigslist and I'm going to try to get what I can out of it. I have a thing with electronics where if something is broken, even if it's still usable, it just bugs me.
Project debut carbon vs. uturn special manual#
I could probably take it back to the shop and spend another ~$150 and he could fix the manual mode. The only way I can play a record is to let it move the needle to the wrong spot and then pick it up and manually drop it myself. Even in manual mode, it still tries to move the arm itself, and it drops it about a quarter of the way up the record. He said it worked fine in manual mode, but when I took it home, that wasn't really the case. So I took it to a local repair shop and the guy replaced some capacitors, so now the table turns again, but he said that the auto mechanism had a piece of plastic that was broken and he can't fix it. When I did that, I might have broke something with the auto arm mechanism. When it stopped turning, I tried to give it a little push and forced it, because it felt like it was trying to turn. Now this is where I should probably take a lot of blame. And then it just stopped turning completely. I'm not sure if that's what did it, because it actually worked for a few days after that, but something was just off about it. I wasn't around to see it, but my wife apparently pushed on the carbon brush and stopped the motor, which might have messed something up. I don't know if I can explain it right, but I'll try.
