Frequently Asked Questions - Model-One Andover
How do I set up the Andover Model-One turntable?
Refer to the user manual for step-by-step setup. Typically, you need to remove packing materials, install the platter, belt, and counterweight, and level the turntable. Ensure the tonearm is balanced and anti-skate is set.
What should I do if the turntable does not spin?
Check the power connection and ensure the belt is properly looped around the motor pulley and platter. If the belt is loose or broken, replace it. Also verify the speed selector is set to your desired RPM.
How do I replace the stylus on the Model-One?
To replace the stylus, gently pull the old one out of the cartridge body and push the new one in until it clicks. Use only a compatible stylus recommended by Andover. Handle with care to avoid damaging the cantilever.
Why is there a humming sound from my turntable?
Hum can be due to grounding issues. Ensure the ground wire from the tonearm is connected to the grounding terminal on your amplifier. Also, keep the turntable away from other electronic devices. Check the cartridge connections.
Can I connect the Model-One to a modern receiver?
Yes, if your receiver has a dedicated phono input. If not, you will need a phono preamp to boost the signal to line level. The Model-One may have a built-in preamp; check your model's specifications.
How do I clean the vinyl records?
Use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust before each play. For deeper cleaning, use a record cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Avoid using alcohol or household cleaners. Always clean records in a circular motion.
What is the correct tracking force for the Model-One?
Refer to your cartridge's specifications. Typically, MM cartridges require 1.5 to 2.5 grams. Adjust the counterweight and fine-tune with a stylus force gauge. Overweight can damage records and stylus.
How do I change the belt on the Model-One?
Remove the platter and old belt. Loop the new belt around the motor pulley and the inner rim of the platter, then replace the platter. Ensure the belt is not twisted. A loose belt may cause speed instability.
Why does the tonearm skip or slide?
Check the tracking force and anti-skate settings. Ensure the turntable is level. Warped records or a dirty stylus can also cause skipping. Clean the stylus and inspect the record for damage.
How do I store the Model-One turntable when not in use?
Always replace the stylus protective cover. Store in a dry, dust-free environment. Cover the turntable with a dust cover if available. Disconnect power if storing for extended periods. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
