There is a reamer that comes with the ES-001 kit. You might need open the spindle hole a minute amount if there isn't any play in the spindle hole. The reamer is a very fine instrument for this purpose. We are talking wow & flutter that the DS detects is the width of 3 human hairs or less. Every LP is different. Only 15% of LP's are perfectly centered when pressed at the factory. Looking forward to getting ours at 3mA.
Obviously, there must be enough clearance around the spindle to perform the adjustments. My Bardo tables have a pretty chunky spindle. On more than a few occasions I have had to ream the hole in the LP ever so slightly.
Yeah..I think it's more about the play in the LP hole. Every record could be different and maybe not as perfect as this calibration... But at least some improvement.
I have lots of records that the centre hole in the spindle is very tight, I don't understand how can anyone adjust these records if there is a zero play in the spindle, thanks for the video.
We're talking microns, so you don't need a lot of play. However, it will always be dependent on those factors. Maybe not every record can get perfect, but at least closer to optimal.
We have one of these in the store as well. You have to ream the spindle hole to get it perfect on those type. Some are nervous about reaming but frankly if it’s tight and wrong you are guaranteed for it to be off, if you ream the hold a touch you at least have the chance of it being right.
Is there any kind of clamping mechanism to firmly attach to the spindle in the ES-001 stabilizer, so there is no play from side to side as with the record? As we know there are some tolerances and spindle thickness vary between turntable manufacturers.
Don't fully understand. What happens next. Does he leave it on after centering it? Does he take it off and work the centerhole? What happens? Do you have to play the record with the tool on it?
You just play the record with the device still on it. It serves as a quasi record clamp...plus you performed the calibration with it on, so just keep it on to play.
This is just a repackaged $50 Chinese security camera with IR motion detection. it's a low-res camera that detects motion shift from the IR LED light from the inner grooves reflected. It's the same logic as motion detection in those cheap $50 Chinese security cameras where the moving subject is framed in the playback. I guarantee that if this thing was taken apart you would find the insides of a Wyze-type security camera... but cheaper because worse image sensor and no wifi.

Nakamichi had a center hole calibration technology built into a couple of its turntables, back in the day. very cool stuff.
That's interesting... Didn't know that.
@@AudiophileJunkie it was called the Nakamichi Absolute Center Search System (on their Dragon turntables) really cool tech for the 80’s.
I bought one! Amazing results!!!
Very interesting Jason 🎧🙂👍
magnifico.

Same here, my dr. Feickert wouldn’t have enough spacing for adjustment on many of my albums

Exactly what I thought.
see above
deviation of a curve or orbit from circularity.

Good question that I'll have to try and find out. Might be quicker to email them directly
