Speed strobe recommendation.

I'm sure there are others out there, the three I'll mention are Clearaudio ($160.00), KAB ($100.00), Merrill,($30.00). As far as accuracy and ease of use go, is there any reason to spend the extra $ on the two higher priced strobes mentioned? After all Merrill has been at this a long time, I would think he would put out a quality product. Any help will be appreciated.

What Tfkaudio says is true but the KAB does work very well.

The best feature of the KAB is that the strobe is a 300Hz strobe light, and there are speed-designation numbers on the disc that are very easy to read while in operation. No more mesmerization trying to look at that single bar hopefully holding steady...squinting...

I bought one on A'gon, don't recall who the seller was. The strobe disc is cardboard, but easy to read, with 60/50hz, 45/33 rpm. the strobe light is a simple diode wired to a 12vac wall wart. It works fantastic and I paid $25. The diode and wall wart can be bought for ~$6 probably. The strobe disc ???

Has anyone tried the Ron Sutherland Timeline speed strobe that uses a light that flashes on the wall behind the tt and also serves as a record weight?
