I'll look for it this weekend

Uy thanks. Hope you find it sir. 

[Courage]

Naku yung Naim kelangan straight to the wall. Yung Roksan gamitan ko AVR. Meron ba AVR na 230V ang output?

Bakit 230V?

[mykel18]

Bakit 230V?

230V kasi sa UK and I'm thinking na baka kaya medyo mabagal ay dahil below 230V ang nakukuha from the wall. Or baka di talaga mabagal. Ako lang yun. 

[Tsnad]

dapat pala Variac gamit mo...

[mykel18]

Sir Ogie, enlighten me more on Variac sir. Di ako familiar kasi. If I really need it then I'll buy one.

[Tsnad]

Sir Ogie, enlighten me more on Variac sir. Di ako familiar kasi. If I really need it then I'll buy one.

sir eto po yung variac pwede i set yung voltage kung ano gusto mo since yung naim is 230v... tapos sa AVR.

Baka naman kaya minsan bumabagal ikot dumadami na alikabok  , you have not to worry oks pa rin motor nyan  . Pa check mo rin mga spinning/or rotating metal nyan baka kulang na sa oil at naninikit  . Or yung belt mo may patay na lamok o insecto

San ko iconnect ang variac? Di yata pwede yung AVR sa variac since output is usually 220V mababalewala yung 230V ni variac.

Changed the oil already maybe last month. Okay naman sya after then a few nights back I noticed parang mabagal sa ibang LP.  Nakakapraning kasi ang mga ganitong issue.

Merong electronic gun na pang measure ng RPM. I dunno kung applicable.

need mo avr na 230-240V, pero mosly ata ng avr is 220-240v...

[Tsnad]

need mo talaga ng strobo or... yung suggestion ni Sir Nelson...

Merong electronic gun na pang measure ng RPM. I dunno kung applicable.

Sino meron nito? Baka meron ka master. 

[mykel18]

Been doing some research na about variac and AVR that can output at 230V. Yung Pro-Ject Speed Box SE II naginquire na ko sa Acoustic Dimension kaso out of stock daw. By order na kaso I want to try first if it will solve the problem before buying one. Meron pa ba ibang dealer ng Pro-ject?

[mykel18]

Did a quick search of my table's specs, 220V pala sya. 
Try ko AVR ko tonight and see what happens.

Technical Data:
•Main Bearing Spindle Precision machined stainless steel
•Main Bearing Housing Precision machined solid brass
•Main Bearing Ball Precision case hardened steel
•Pulley Precision machined Aluminium alloy
•Platter Precision machined Acrylic
•Motor Custom made 24 pole synchronous
•Speed 33 & 45 rpm
•Power 110 or 220 Vac – 50/60 Hz
•Rumble <-80dB
•Wow & Flutter <0.04%
•Dimension 400 x 350 x 150mm (W x D x H)
•Weight 7Kg

As per manual:

Connect the power lead to the correct voltage/frequency mains supply and switch the Radius5 MkII on. The Radius5 MkII platter will start to rotate at the speed corresponding to the position of the drive belt on the pulley. In most countries,220-240Vac mains supplies are at 50Hz and 110-120Vac mains supplies are at 60Hz. If you are unsure of your mains supply frequency, consult your local electricity supplier.

PH mains is 220V / 60Hz.

Wala eh. Eto yun mechanical:

Tutok mo lang yun tip sa umiikot na shafting to get the reading.

Eto naman yun mga digital:

[dodie]

if you plug it sa avr, but thats a remote posibility that it will cure the speed prob, at hindi pa din nagbago and belt is ok and bearings are well oiled...... drive motor na may problema. wala bang warranty sa arch audio yan?

[dodie]

btw, just in case kakalikutin mo yung tt, tangalin mo muna yung cart at bka masabitan mo eh mawala yung stylus..... nangyari na sa akin yan eh at tumulo ang luha ko.

Sa Audioworld to. May warranty naman but I just want to make sure first if may problem talaga before claiming warranty. Another thing is the belt, wala yung belt out of the box. Audioworld gave me a spare belt lang.

Gusto ko lang ishare (kahit alam na ng karamihan). Trivia shared by Luther in our last session. Di kami makapaniwala ni jh@meeh eh.

Yup maganda yan AVR mo dapat TT kasi motor driven yan, oks lang si Naim kasi recomm naman nila yan baka mawala pa warranty pag nag AVR ka at yun ituro salarin pag may problem.

Dapat may volt meter ka man lang para may reading ka pag naencounter mo yang problem. Pero the best dyan dalhin mo nalang sa dealer mo yan or request mo sila puntahan na yang unit mo, tutal under warranty pa baka maka affect pa sa warranty mo pag may nagalaw ka iba.

[mykel18]

Max power for the Roksan is 3W but per my watt meter plugged to the AVR, it is getting about 4.1W

[dodie]

given the price of the roksan, fined tuned na dapat sya to cater every country with diff ac voltage specifications. may problema daw minsan yung roksan at nagkakaroon ng drift sbi ng ibang owners. since electronically controled ang speed nya, there is no way you can adjust manually the correct speed. so its either the module o yung motor unit ang problema. besides bka merong tolerance sya sa platter speed, let say 331/3 plus or minus 2%.  but the best way for you to determine kung may drift sya is to use the KAB speedstrobe. kita mo kung 33 1/3 rpm talaga o kulang. pag yung stobe it, kita mo lang steady na pero walang reading kung accurate talaga.

[mykel18]

besides bka merong tolerance sya sa platter speed, let say 331/3 plus or minus 2%. 

Kung totoo to pasok na yan sa speed na nakukuha ko. Played a 2:09 track, timed it and I got 2:11. May margin of error din since I may have pressed the start early or pressed the stop late on the timer. Pero so far with the AVR it seems meron minor improvement.

Hahaha. It good to know na may improvement. Nakaka praning yang ganyan eh. Yung tolerance ng iba minsan namn mabilis. Subukan mo din sa strobe it kung steady na. Pag gumagalaw ng konti yung  indicator, ma prapraning ka na naman. Hahaha yan hirap sa analog, nagiging OC ka. Konting diff sa tunog di na mapakale agad. Hanap agad ang culprit.

Oo tama nakakapraning talaga. Buti na lang may konting improvement. Need to get a proper AVR and maybe variac for my Naim. Grabe talaga fluctuation ng electricity sa amin. I always hear the AVR clicking due to the fluctuations.

[dodie]

Subukan mo kya isaksak yung naim sa avr. Bka di naman magbago sound quality nya. Nakakatakot eh bka pati naim madisgrasya ng fluctuating current. Just to ba safe lang.

dami naman pambili dapat ata mga 5kva AVR..

Sige I'll try that too. Last time I used a Line Conditioner, the music became lifeless and a bit thin. 

[mykel18]

Di naman. Kelangan lang ingatan. Malapit na matapos ang warranty period.
