    Default Balance your platter

    This topic has come to the fore in a post in the techiepedia section relating to platter ringing on a technics1200.
    The solution to this ideally requires the platter balance to be checked.

    It is of course a subject that covers all platters and Im wondering if anyone has done any DIY measurements of platter dynamic balance.

    my brief look on the net threw up https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vibrat...is/id817385888

    Any help would be appreciated

    Im not sure about technics. There are no signs of any balancing weights or holes.
    I replaced the platter danping and tried to balance on completion

    I dont know what happens with other TT's and how it is best measured, thus my question.
