Weather's a possibility. Generally, needing a higher frequency suggests that system friction has increased. Perhaps your bearing lubrication has dried out a little. Another possibility would be that your motor is starting to wear or needs more lubrication and thus become a little weaker. Unless it keeps getting worse, I wouldn't really worry about it.
SDS question
Hello friends,
I was checking my turntable speed today using my KAB speed strobe and found that my table was running quite slow. I had the VPI SDS calibrated at 59.85hz and I thought I had the speed perfect. Today, I needed to adjust it to 60.03hz to get it dead accurate again.
What might cause such a big change to have to be made? I was wondering if it might be the weather (it has turned cold recently here in Chicago)?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
