PS AUDIO P500 as a Turntable speed controller?


Analog Guru's out there:

Could I use the P500 Power Plant Regenerator as a turntable speed controller in my case? I am using the Michell Orbe SE - AC Motor with the larger PS not the newer DC Motors.

Its states by PS Audio themself that:

"Every Power Plant has always had the ability for the user to choose a frequency that best suits his systems needs, or perhaps used as a motor controller for an AC synchronous turntable"

Appreciate any advise or anyone doing this.

Hi

Have used the P300 with great success for the VPI motors, so the P500 would certainly work as well

How does Lloyd feel about your using the P300 on his turntable, instead of his own Precision Motor Controller?
Make sure that your P500 has the most current chip that adjust the frequency of the Power Plant in 0.0625 Hz steps from 50 Hz all the way to 120 Hz. If your P500 has the clean sweep feature, you should have the most up to date chip.
