Improvents tips, new Hardware, players from Denon this year?

Check this thread about the motor failure.

Also check this to proper changer the lube to prevent damage to axial bearings.

  1. Drill a hole in the plastic cover of the motor cover that cover tha foil.
  2. Stick a microcamera with led light on the tip in the hole.
  3. Place a player close to a subwoofer.
  4. Turn the subwoofer ON and play some music
  5. Observe the foil, you will be surprise, but it vibrates the crap of it.
  6. Put the osciloscope probe to the sensor that picks up the rotational position for the platter.
  7. Turn the motor on, and observe the waveform on the osscilocope with the subwoofer ON and subwoofer Off, you will be suprised how altered is the waverform signal with the subfwooer ON.

I have done this debug / test several times to debug the problem. The problem is from the motor asemmbly design, needs to be updated.

I didn’t rewrite / modified anything, just tested behavior with older firmware version and newer, it looks like the sistem runs out of ram very quickly with new version of firmware.
