HS-80
HS-80
Some Recommendations Operating remarks.
-
Only use the complete set (turntable and HS-80) with strings. Don’t use a combination of Belts, Seamless
Belts or String. ONLY STRING.
-
It is possible when turning up the turntable, the rotation of the Platter and Flywheel will not start easy.
You may help both parts. The speed stabilization takes a few moments.
-
Is the HS-80 turning smoothly?
You can test it by switching off the power and let the HS-80 run with the turntable, if it is in perfect
working order it can rotate a long time without slowing down.
-
Placement.
If it runs ok, check your placement of the motor unit and the flywheel. The string must be equal length.
Many people set them up with equal distances where the center of the turntable has identical distance to
the rotating shaft of the motor and to that of the flywheel, which is a big mistake. This will result in an
awful sound and uneven force.
-
Use the HS-80 only with a RX-1500 when it is fitted with a Gunmetal Platter. The weight of an Aluminum
Platter is too low.
-
Using the HS-80 with the RY5500, you need to lift it up by 7-10mm in order to get the right height so that
you can put the thread in the middle of the shaft (not the top one used without flywheel), otherwise you
won’t get the right speed.
-
As for the length of the threads, the longer the better (within reasonable length).
-
Finally, often ignored by many, the surface must be level, so that all parts on the platform are
horizontal. I find that this has a noticeable effect to the details, air, and dynamic.
Design and specifications are subject to modification without notice.
