Not sure what you mean by "beating" @user-rg2ng4tl3o - if you mean the record looks slightly warped then you are correct, it is. This has nothing to do with the record player, rather poor quality control from some of the software manufacturers.

Technics and AudioTechnica have always known that belt drive is better than direct drive but direct drive turntables are simpler and cheaper to make. With marketing they have convinced many that direct drive is better. But there is a reason why ALL high end turntables are belt driven.
It is actually the opposite, the marketing convinced people with money that belt drives are better. The Neumann cutting lathe are all direct drive ! So even if u get a belt drive, you will hear a direct drive cut vinyl. Direct drive is the closest to the actual performance.
They were left on for approx 500 hours. Then the speakers were run through the WASP and moved/tweaked ever so slightly before being taken off. Far easier to do all this with the wheels on at the beginning of ownership!
The way the protective film splits away in pieces as you pull it off does seem odd to me, as if it was applied a long time ago. The paint color is nice. I'm sure a happy owner.
You can spend as long as you want peeling this off in one larger layer, or as we have done it here, in smaller amounts. The film isn't hard, it's soft. A 15 minute video of nothing really happening would've been a little more boring.
@@frankprowsehifi What I was thinking, these speakers might have been in storage for a very long time and the film had gone brittle. The film on my Wilson speakers was very plastic and pulled off as a sheet without splitting.
@@brodricr6237 Like all good manufacturers who push the envelope in terms of performance and improvements in manufacturing, perhaps Wilson Audio have updated the film they use to wrap the speakers? Moot point anyway, as has already been mentioned in our last reply, the film isn't brittle, but soft. Considering these were a custom colour order and were for the showroom floor, I can confirm your theory is incorrect - they were shipped as soon as they were ready to do so, as is Wilson Audio's policy. They are a well-oiled machine - they dont warehouse speakers like other brands do.
The AS feature works on all their turntables except for one particular series (generation) of Lp120 but it was finally resolved in 2017. Unfortunately due to certain RU-vid channels this issue gets repeated over and over again like a broken record and keeps causing misunderstandings.
@@Trekkie4 Sorry for replying so late to your comment, but would you mind saying which one is the generation with AS issues on the AT-LP120 line? I've got one from 2014...
@@AndreAbascal It is very difficult to tell... You SHOULD be okay, but then again I don't really know when the anti-skate problem first appeared and/or for how long it was present. In either case you should be fine, I personally owned LP120 from 2016 which had AS issue and I can tell you that regardless of all the hype about it, it honestly didn't cause that much problems, and barely made any difference to begin with. Sound image was always centered (with both left & right channels equally loud), and it didn't have any tracking issues whatsoever. I suppose some people would argue about uneven stylus & groove wear but that is a whole other subject for some other occasion.
Fully manual- So muß das ;-) 40 years ago when turntables were still in use I pimped them. My bros were amazed that pulling stuff out makes them better;-) Aw ,good all days. I heard my first Nitty Gritty. That's when I decided to make my own "washing maschine" Mostly made of good "trash" and spare model stuff. I only had~500 albums but they were sooo good. In mint condition after being cleaned by me Those were the days my friend....🎼
Hi @Paul K - this room had the full involvement of Artnovion from conception to the finished product. Domestic sensibilities are different to studio requirements, Artnovion (one of the world's biggest acoustical brands) are trying to design products that work as advertised and don't have to be "ugly".
