Years later after reading a few threads about the Planar 3 running slightly fast I measured the speed of mine by counting revolutions against a stopwatch and sure enough it was slightly off. I found some very thin adhesive tape and applied it to the sub platter one layer at a time until the speed was spot on then convinced myself I could hear the difference [emoji3]. Unfortunately now that my Touch and amplifier are sitting on the TV stand I no longer have space for the turntable and it is in its box in the loft and all my vinyl is under the bed [emoji20]
