LP -  Hi-Fi News & Record Review - Test Record - HFN 001 Test LP

Side one

A pleasant surprise, my phono plugs are wired not only correctly for left and right but also for phase! This is something of a miracle as I paid no attention to this when rewiring the arm, so far so good.

This is supposed to be a subjective evaluation of your system and a measurement of image placement. As pink noise goes it was very nice, but 'smooth and seamless' would surely be a description of any such signal? I think these are track fillers, I have the equivalent for my cd player and noticed no difference between a £75 player and a £1200, good for setting balance I suppose but my Shearne amp has no such control...

Now this is what I spent my £15 for, because Zeta didn't bother putting little markings on the bias dial! How wrong could I be....It played the first (+12db) track perfectly, just requiring a little reduction in volume to stop my ears popping (beeeeeep.....). Track 7 (+14db) was a different matter altogether - the right channel was buzzing, something it had not done playing music previously! I carefully adjusted the bias knob left to right until there was none on either channel. I repeated this for track 8 (+16db) and eventually got an even undistorted tone.

Well this is the same as the previous 300hz tracks but +18db and on the inside edge of the record (the worst place for tracking). I'll come back to this later.

Side two

This is similar to the bias setting tracks on side one, but the tracks are spread evenly across the record enabling you to hear the tracking at different parts of the arm sweep. Even with the careful setting I did on side one, it took a little while to adjust bias until there was no distortion on any track. I flipped back and forth between these and the bias tracks on side one until all was well. It should be noted however that I had to increase tracking weight to 2.0g (1.5g - 2.5g on my goldring 1024) to get the end result. Len Gregory who produced the album suggested this may be the case in the sleeve notes, less wear and better sound at a higher tracking force, strange but true.

Well two more definitive test tracks, one which makes your cartridge/arm wobble laterally, the other vertically. I now know that even though my arm and cartridge are not matched on paper, they have a resonance of 8hz in both tests, right on the edge of the recommended 8-15hz.

This is to help check cartridge azimuth alignment. You are supposed to use the mono switch on your amp to achieve this, but my amp hasn't got one so its usefulness remains a mystery.

These are unmodulated grooves which test your deck/plinth/stands ability to produce low noise levels in the background (known in the magazine world as 'inky black silence') and hence low frequency performance. Considering my less than perfect stand on a wooden floor, close to large Castle Harlech speakers and the unsprung homemade plinth my deck sits on, not bad at all. There was no rumble but I may use this track to improve my plinth design, turning up the volume loud does introduce some very low level noise and this will be the perfect tool to help eradicate this.
