Symptom of lp12 out of level

Post by bonzo »

I’ve been meaning to ask the group this question. Let’s say my lp 12 is not level. Checking with multiple spirit levels, the left side of the deck needs to be higher than it is. So.. what does an out of level lp12 sound like vs. on level? Next ? Is when leveling, my table sits on quadraspire wall mount and I have trampoline 2. Sooo do I level the shelf, the trampoline feet..
as always thanks for your time everyone.

Hi bonzo!

Always keep your Trampolin feet screwed all the way in. Don't overtighten, as they can break.

Adjust the wall shelf until the plinth (or top plate, as sometimes the plinth is a little warped) is level.

The platter should be level with the top plate when the suspension of the LP12 is properly adjusted.

I thank you very much for your quick response. May I ask what does a table that is not level sound like?

A little worse.

Actually it was a good while since I made a proper comparison. But I have many times screwed in the feet of Trampolin and adjusted the shelf until the LP12 has been level and it's always sounded a bit more stable and "right" afterwards.
