    not that crucial Svend, just wondering what's the reason behind this particular design.

    Cheers!

    Yes, there is. Look carefully at an LP and you’ll see that the label area and the rim are thicker than the playing area. The TT2 platter (like many others) is designed so that the playing area is supported by the mat. This helps to kill any vibration in the record itself caused by the stylus tracking the groove.

    Hi Shane, perhaps you can help


    When I switched on my TT2 today I noticed slight hum, seems to come from the power supply, It's the first time I've noticed it since I got it couple of months ago.
    Is it something I should look into? The table is circa 1986
    Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated


    Cheers!

    Matz, you should probably get that checked out. I also have a TT2 with external psu, and it is dead silent, both when running and idle. Audio One on Steeles Ave. can help you - they were the Cdn importers for Heybrook and know that table inside and out. Their tech, Claudio, is a great guy and has done some excellent work for me. I would get this sorted soon before this worsens to something unfixable - not a good scenario for that psu.

    I’d go with Svend on this one. My knowledge of the TPS is minimal as it was only produced after I left the company.

    My TT2 does not have the external power supply. Should I hear anything when I turn it on? I hope it's only in my mind, after all, there ought to be some kind of sound when a motor is running, shouldn't there be?

    Hi Svend, looks like it's going to Audio One next weekend. Is Claudio still there? I read conflicting reports on CAM.
